PC Shuts off randomly

OGVague · July 28, 2020

A bit of a lengthy read ahead.

So, seems like everytime I go away from my PC it shuts down.. it's done this three times to me so far, I come back and it's OFF, BUT all my devices still have power and lighting up, keyboard, mouse, etc. BUT it wont wake up, I have to hit the power button to turn it back on. So I figured it wasnt in sleep mode.

My temps are fine, IDLE CPU at 31 - 33c

GPU IDLE at 43c

Powersupply fan IS working, and it's definitely not over heating.

All case fans are running fine.

The only thing I've changed in the past few days is I turned on OC GENIE 4 in the bios for my i5-9600k. This last time that my PC went off just before posting this, I disabled that and the RAM overclock. Even though I've never had problems with the RAM OC in the past. I've never used the OC GENIE for more than a few minutes for testing purposes in the past. I recently turned it on and kept it on for a few days for whatever reason. Maybe that's the problem?

I did notice that I did have a PC sleep time to 30 minutes, and so I disabled that. I also went into device manager and made sure "Allow this device to wake up PC" was enabled for my M+KB.

I'm praying that the problem was just my PC went to sleep, and my devices weren't allowed to wake it back up.

I've also been having problems where my main monitor will go to sleep, I wake them back up and my secondary monitor only comes back on and my main keeps cycling through the input options.

Last note. My PC also keeps booting on my secondary monitor instead of my primary--not a big deal but no idea why either.

Please help if you can.

UPDATE!

So I just tested the sleep mode... I set the monitor to sleep after 1 min, and PC to sleep after 1 minute. The monitor shut off, but my PC didn't. Wake up worked how it was supposed to. Besides the fact that the PC kept running.

I set the monitor shut off to NEVER, and PC kept at 1 minute.

PC shut off, completely. Keyboard and mouse still on. But would not wake up, until I hit the power button. WHEN it did wake up.. it's loaded the bios for a second, then went to the login screen, and all my tabs on google, and apps were still running.

Soo I'm assuming the problem is that my M+KB isn't waking my PC back up... IDK why I have it enabled. No Idea I'll just disable PC sleep
