I have a Windows 7 PC, and recently, I have been having troubles with sleep mode.
Problem #1: About half the time, I will put the computer in sleep mode, and it will immediately wake itself up without me telling it to do so. Sometimes I can put it in sleep mode multiple times, and it will insist on waking up almost right away. However, sometimes it can wait several hours or more before waking itself up, again without my telling it to do so.
Problem #2: The other half of the time, the computer will enter sleep mode, and it will refuse to wake up from sleep mode. Hitting buttons on the keyboard or pressing the power button on the computer case fail to wake it up.
When the computer refuses to wake up form sleep mode, I have to unplug the computer from the outlet, and then plug the power cable back in. After doing this, I can get the computer to wake up and it will resume running, but having to do this, gets rather annoying after a while.
What causes this problem? Do I have a hardware issue?
