Hi everyone! I'm new to this forum, and I'm not sure where to post this new thread...
I just recently built my own computer, and I think that this may be a problem with Vista, but I'm not sure.
OK, my problem is that whenever I put the computer to sleep mode and move the mouse while it's getting into sleep mode, it'll either restart or kill the computer. When it kills the computer, the fans still run but the lights on the front go out. There is also no picture on the monitor. To turn off the computer, I have to force a shutdown by holding the power button for around 4 seconds. Then, when I try to turn on the computer again, the fans turn on, the hard drive runs, but still no lights on the front of the case nor picutre on the screen. I fixed it by clearing the RTC RAM on the motherboard. After doing that, the computer would boot up, but if I did sleep mode and moved the mouse, then the computer would die again, and I'd have to clear the RTC RAM again.
I'm wondering why this happens with sleep mode. I use Vista Home Premium 64-bit. Is there a solution to this problem or does anyone else have this problem?
Maybe you need to know this? I don't know if that helps.
Motherboard - ASUS P5QL PRO
CPU - Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600
Video Card - PNY NVidia GeForce 8800 GT
