Puzzled: PC restarts upon waking

[mwazo]

Hey all, new here and new to building:

 

Specs:

Asus TUF Z790

I9-12900k

Corsair Vengeance DDR5 5600 64GB

Asus Dual 4070 OC

Samsung 980 Pro

Seagate 8tb

MSI magcore 360r V2

Win 11 pro 

 

Problems: first off, I was having issues booting into windows off the bat, it was giving me an error about installation, but swapping the ram sticks (not slots, literally swapping the sticks solved that?) Both sticks came together, brand new.

 

Fast forward my PC works great while it's in use. I had issues with my GPU fans not running (even at 70+ degrees Celsius) but I swapped slots on the motherboard and now those work fine? (Is that normal?)

 

Now the issue I have is when I put my PC to sleep and wake it up, it turns on, gives me black screens, shuts down, black screens then a white led flashes, it beeps and starts up like a complete restart. All drivers are up to date from what I can tell, hybrid mode I do believe is off.

 

I'm fairly computer literate (mostly software related) and I'm just at a complete loss on this issue. Hoping the entire history may clue some of you experts in.

 

Thanks!
