Hello,
I just updated from Vista 64 bit to Windows 7 64 bit. Everything worked fine for the first couple of weeks and then things began to act funny. I'm not a computer wizard so I'm turning to you for help. Here is my situation.
I normally leave my computer on and only turn it off when it tells me it needs to shut down for updates or something. A few nights ago the computer went into sleep mode and when I woke up I moved the mouse and my monitor comes on and then goes black. Nothing I do will wake it up. I push the sleep button on my computer and the system goes back to sleep but when I wake it up again, my monitor wakes and then falls right back to sleep. The only way around this is to do a hard restart.
I've followed the thread of others who are having the same problems with wake/sleep issues and none of the solutions given have worked for me.
I did a test last night and decided to disable the sleep, Hybrid and all sleep functions on my computer. As I called it a night, I shut off my monitor and went to bed. When I woke up this morning, I could hear that the CPU was still running and the programs in the background was still running because my email alert was sounding each time I received a new email message. So I turned on my monitor and it woke up and went right back to sleep. I put it in sleep mode with the keyboard and it did the same thing. I had to do a hard restart.
I'm at a lost here as this is something that is new that started recently. Please help if you have figured out how to solve this problem.
