Hi there, recently I've been having an issue with my PC whereby when It goes into its low power hibernation state due to me not using it it decides to completely switch off, and then refuses to turn back on unless i unplug the cable and leave it for a few hours/overnight. This happened again last night and when i turned it on again this morning I opened event viewer and it showed a critical event occured, The source was "Kernel-Power".

Last night after the PC shut down and refused to turn back on I noticed the Motherboard ethernet port orange light was still on, so does that mean it's still getting power?
Any suggestions about what the cause of this is and how to fix it?
 
It will do this if its set in the power options, sleep etc .
Turn off hibernation, simple. It causes no end of problems.
Run a CMD prompt as administrator and type powercfg -H OFF then go intro Control Panel, Power Options, make sure they are all set to never then click advanced and make sure all the sleep and hibernation options are turned off.

Annoyingly enough it's just done it again, however I will try when it (hopefully( turns back on in a few hours.
 
Ok guys, so I tried what's been suggested and I've turned hibernation off and I created a plan and set those things to never like suggested however now my PC completely shuts down every time I press sleep, can anyone help me get my PC working correctly again?
 
Hi, you can go to advanced settings in power options >click on the power buttons and lids > set sleep button to do nothing.:)
