Win 7 PC "goes to sleep" without warning, won't wake up
I had to wait about a week for the adapter to come in the mail so I could even put the new power supply on. I just finally got off my caboose and put it together and it booted like normal, there are some errors but they seem to be related to the antivirus stuff I uninstalled when I last had it... -

Win 7 PC "goes to sleep" without warning, won't wake up
No idea why I thought that. Maybe when I bought it I was seeing specs for another computer. it seems like a good idea, put the OS on it's own little drive separate from data storage. So this is interesting. The PC I'm using to access this forum with is a year old Win 10 machine and I was... -

Win 7 PC "goes to sleep" without warning, won't wake up
If I remember right this machine is supposed to be set up with two hard drives, a very small one with the OS and the 1TB unit with most everything else. However inside if there is two the second one seems to include the CD drive and slots for SD cards. That was the only one the even more... -

Win 7 PC "goes to sleep" without warning, won't wake up
It's a used unit from a local computer shop they're willing to warranty for 30 days. Probably the same as what was in it. I mean the only reason I'm even buying one is the one I had here has the wrong plugs to connect to some components. Or I'd have spent zero dollars for one. So let's... -

Win 7 PC "goes to sleep" without warning, won't wake up
I can't run anything on a computer that won't even boot. When it did boot last it would run about 20 minutes and shut off. It kicked into sleep mode as it started to reboot last night and when I attempted to boot it this morning it went into Startup Repair, when that finished and concluded it... -

Win 7 PC "goes to sleep" without warning, won't wake up
I tried swapping in a power supply I had on hand from an older PC but some of the plugs are different (white plastic, fewer pins) and left no way to connect the drive that accepts CDS/DVDs. Going to have to source a used or buy a new one. -

Win 7 PC "goes to sleep" without warning, won't wake up
THis morning it came up "your computer was unable to start" and went into startup repair. Temps in there have been normal, 30' C or so. Looking like i might have to instead remove the hard drive and put it in another machine. -

Win 7 PC "goes to sleep" without warning, won't wake up
It gets better, I uninstalled those things and some other stuff, it needed to reboot to finish the uninstall, I told it to go ahead and reboot, it started and not even 15 seconds into the reboot *poof* off to "sleep". I have an even older HP PC here that I stopped using... well, 10 years... -

Win 7 PC "goes to sleep" without warning, won't wake up
It won't run long enough to do all of that in one shot. I removed some of the AVG and some of the IObit, but it gave an error that the files for Iobit Uninstaller were corrupted, then shut down after the third try on that. Sometimes it needs to sit unplugged for several minutes before it... -

Even in safe mode running only CCleaner health check right now it won't run more than a few minutes. That was the only primary application running. -

Win 7 PC "goes to sleep" without warning, won't wake up
I didn't even install the Chrome before this started, only after several "sleeps" did Chrome fail to work and I reinstalled it. Entirely out of nowhere. -

Win 7 PC "goes to sleep" without warning, won't wake up
For the last couple days this older PC running win7 just seems to go into sleep mode, no warning, no rhyme or reason, it's an HP that has a blue LED display when powered on and it turns amber when sleeping. http://speccy.piriform.com/results/N7HZ5BHVY1b8SiWJV1mQ1sQ A couple of antivirus...
