Hi, second-time customer having just upgraded to a new custom PC. The new rig arrived monday and initial set-up went smoothly, a small hiccup in one of my backup externals being slightly corrupted but that's about it.
However, when I tried to put the computer into Sleep, it would go through the whole process right up until a few seconds after my monitor stopped recieving a signal from the computer and went into standby, its fans and LEDs still lit up and spinning respectively. I'd hear a small beep from the tower - the same beep that chirps when I turn the computer on from a shut-down state - the monitor would go off standby and the computer would go through the PCSpecialist splashscreens as if it had been rebooted, and logging on would bring me to a fresh desktop bereft of all the windows I had open when I put it to sleep. It reboots, in other words. And it does the same thing if I try to put it into hibernation.
As well, when my computer restarts this way I sometimes have a similar issue as Crazzy Bones has here[link], where the wifi-options in the corner dissapear and are replaced with ethernet and (hah) dial-up options with device manager reporting my wireless adaptor as being disconnected, but this fixes itself just as mysteriously if I shut down and boot back up.
I've slotted in some RAM and downloaded the usual apps like chrome and steam, but otherwise I haven't really done anything that to my knowledge would instigate something like this. Don't suppose anyone knows what might cause this?
