The Sleep of sleeps
Hi hope someone can help, Kind of in a bind, PC - hp a730n
I installed Vista, everything great worked fine, changed power profile (created a new one) monitor does not go off, computer does not sleep, and disk always on, CPU max power... in attempt to bring up my overall rating, which it did by .2 Several days later I found what is or like the sleep mode to the right on the start menu, before the small menu for shut down and restart etc. Well I pressed it and everything faded out. moved mouse to start it back up, "nothing". Pressed power switch, it would not even turn on the fan. All that I see is the power supply flashing I've unplugged the power, waited for flashing to stop, re plugged and press power on, nothing. I've unplugged power supply connectors to mother board I then get a solid light on the PS, but when plugged back it blinks..... was this the sleep of all time At a lose what's going on this is my PC http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/d...431078&lang=en |

If it's not still under warranty, you can replace the PS for about $50 or so. Always pays to go for higher wattage. |

Yeah it did I tested it unplugged it from board and solid light,,, I
think vista's new low power sends a low(5V) to PS and also new PC's store also in CPU... when in past when U clicked power button it want to bios (bootstrap} , tested devices etc now it also looks at CPU , which, I think stores the low(in rest state) thus no power up... others also have this prob and similar problems arising around low power state wondering how to cause a High(to active) stat John On Sat, 31 Mar 2007 09:02:51 GMT, John wrote: Hi hope someone can help, Kind of in a bind, PC - hp a730n I installed Vista, everything great worked fine, changed power profile (created a new one) monitor does not go off, computer does not sleep, and disk always on, CPU max power... in attempt to bring up my overall rating, which it did by .2 Several days later I found what is or like the sleep mode to the right on the start menu, before the small menu for shut down and restart etc. Well I pressed it and everything faded out. moved mouse to start it back up, "nothing".
