[SOLVED] PC Power cycles multiple times when waking from sleep

[bhogervorst]

I've just recently started having this absolutely obnoxious issue with my PC which is making it basically unusable. When putting it in sleep mode, regardless of time delay, when I wake it back up, it spins all fans up to 100% and power cycles completely on and off like 3 times before the fans spin down to normal speeds and it begins to boot from a cold shutdown into Windows. I have not made any hardware changes in years and haven't made any significant software changes recently either. My PC is on a desk next to my bed, so keeping it on all the time is not an option.

The PC specs are as follows:
Windows 11 Pro, fully up to date
Ryzen 5 2600, stock settings, no OC
ASRock B450M Steel Legend
EVGA GTX 980
16GB Corsair DDR4
(I can list all other components but I assume they are not relevant here)

I tried updating my graphics driver but that did not help.
I should probably try resetting and updating the BIOS.
I have taken a cursory look at the event viewer but it can be cryptic and I didn't see anything obvious.
I'm guessing there will be suggestions to look in the memory dumps and windows logs, which is good advice, though I don't know what I'm doing in that regard.

Your help is appreciated, thanks!

Get the proper bios and mobo drivers.....test.
What happens if you use shutdown instead of sleep.

Haven't had much time to debug. If I shut it down or hibernate, it boots up/resumes just fine, so right now I'm just hibernating every night before bed. I will try to do a BIOS update and update all drivers this weekend and see if it solves the issue for good.
