computer upgrade

Hey, I am having an issue with my Windows 7 install that just popped up last night.. The issue seems to be that it’s "stuck" in sleep mode. The PC was on this morning when I checked it - all lights, fans, HDD seems to be spinning up etc. but no video output signal. The machine looks...
