Can't get PC out of sleep mode on WIN 8.1

[Sprett6]

ok so when i set my pc to sleep mode it wont come back on, when i press the enter button or start button on my pc the keyboard and mouse lights up and the fans start running, the screen turns on aswell but quickly shows a no signal detected thingy...... only way i can use my pc again is holding down the power button until shutdown.

 

so any sggestions on how to fix the problem?

Alot of people have experienced this problem. I used to get this problem but I refreshed my PC the other week as I wanted a fresh install of windows as my hard drive had failed on me...

 

There's a few solutions at this link: here

 

If none of those works, I'm here to help you if you need me.

We're probably gonna need a bit more information tho. Like power saving settings. Or if it's sleep or hibernate.

Maybe your PC just wants to sleep.

"You need to go to the "Power Options" in the "Control Panel", where you get the list of "Power Plans". Click "Change plan settings" and then "Change advanced power settings". Go to "PCI Express", "LInk State Power Management" and set it to "Off". " 

 

Try that and switch to high performance mode .

I put my desktop to sleep when I leave the house, along with my other PCs.

well the problem doesn't lie in the mouse or keyboard, the PC wakes up when i press either one the thing is that my monitor won't turn on after i reactivate my pc after sleep mode.....    but i tried the steps anyways with no luck

Your PC is fine then, If the fans and keyboard / mouse LED's / sensor turns on.

 

It's most likely a problem with your monitor. What monitor have you got?

Hmm, Has the monitor got auto sleep on it? That might be why, Have you turned the monitor off and on again or unplugged then replugged the cable?

just tried to turn off/on the monitor AND unplugg it after setting it to sleep mode, still same result....  

 

  NOTE: After ''waking'' up the pc from sleep the only thing that will get it to work again is to hold down the power buttun until it force shuts down, one single push on the power button and/or reset button does nothing

Like I said, Has it got an auto sleep setting - If the monitor has no input for a certain amount of time from the same source, it may need a source restart - Simplest way I could think of putting it.

 

I know my monitor did until I managed to turn it off.

well i looked in the screen settings, and it didn't seem to have an option like that. Even if i set my pc to sleep and immediately turn it back on the screen is just black, if i turn it off/on the brand logo pops up followed by ''no signal'' just like with my previous old ass monitor ;D

Well I'm seriously confused, I'd try and get a response from your motherboard & graphics card support and then your monitor manufacturer lol - I'm sorry that I'm no use now. I wish I could help you but we've done everything I can think of doing

[swifty7]

that's indeed strange?  I put my computer to sleep all the time and so far so good (knock on wood)

 

and I'm also running 8.1
