Hi all,
Basically for the past few days, whenever I leave my PC (specs to the left, Win 7 x64) in standby for over about 30 mins or so, it loses power. I had 'hybrid standby' enabled before, so when I turned it on after it lost power it would resume Windows (although very slowly).
I can't actually tell that it is losing power but I am guessing that's the cause. I will return to the PC and try to resume by pressing any button on the keyboard but if it's lost power (or whatever), I have to use the power button. Now that I have enabled normal sleep in Windows, it will POST and then start Windows from scratch (instead of resuming from standby).
Not sure if this is a hardware of software problem tbh, I don't have any other issues with my PC even when gaming etc so I'm pretty sure it's not the PSU. Don't have any brown-outs or any electricity problems like that in my house that I'm aware of.
Any ideas?
