Hi,
Can anyone help me out with this problem, I built my system about 4 months ago and all has been fine.

Its got 8 gig ram, q6600, and its a asus p5q I think, but I can get actually spec if its needed for the problem.

All was fine yesterday and went to shut down. I hit Sleep by mistake. (running ulimate 64 bit version of vista)
The screens went off but the pc fans kept going. I then couldn't get the thing back on so held in the power button to shut it off.

Today I go back to the pc, and when I turn it on, the screens don't come on, the power comes on, no post beeps, the only things is mobo lights cdrom, graphics cards fans and cdpu fan. I took off my bluetooth keyboard and used a usb, which I found did not light up so I'm guessign no usb power.

After searching google i found some similar problems but they were getting windows booting then sleeping instantly, I don't even get bios screen.

As you may think, it seems the pc is still a sleep, I took it all apart and put it all back together but same problem.

Anyone know a fix, is the motherboard the problem?

thanks
John
 
I had much the same problem put pc to sleep and it wouldn't wake up
tried resetting, no screen you would just hear the the fans working
Did the same as you took it all apart and, put it all back together but no joy
I then reset the cmos took out battery and disconnected the power lead for about
a hour, then put the battery back in reconnected the power lead
crossed my fingers hit the power button
and up she came working again
 
while waiting on a response I did just that and its working.
Cheers

Very strange though, but at least this wil lhelp anyone with similar future problems.

Got a days work to do now. GRR :(

cheers

Might be worth updating the bios to fix windows sleep problems. I also accidently put my PC in to sleep when I first got it about a year ago and it would not wake from it so I had to turn it off. After checking on the asus website for bios updates it said on one of them that it fixes sleep issues with certain CPU or something similar and haven't had a problem with sleep since!
