Since the day I put my computer together (shortly after Thanksgiving '08) it has never done gone to sleep and woke up like it should every time. I would put it to sleep, shake the mouse to wake it up and I had a 50/50 chance of it not waking. Instead, the power supply and fans would spin up, consuming roughly 35w when it normally consumes 170w. This happened with Win XP Pro and now Win 7 HP.
Next problem. If I turn on the vacuum in the same room as my computer, it "shuts it down", but not fully. The screen shuts off and it basically powers down, but the fans still spin and it again, consumes 35w. No other electronics in the same room are effected and voltage sag is negligible.
3rd problem that just started happening the other day. Whenever my AC kicks on, it "shuts it down" (consuming the 35w). My computer remained on, constantly from April 9th to June 8th. I know this because my torrent program had uploaded over 340GB and I took a screen shot at 300GB
During that time, for nearly all of May, my AC was on, but never effected it till June 8th when the computer shut down 3 times due to the AC kicking on. No other electronics are effected and voltage sag is negligible.
So, do you think this could be my mobo (Asus M3A78-t)
Or my Power supply (Enermax 625w PRO82+)?
