Hi,
Last week I bought my new gaming pc, and today, when I went to the gym I left my pc on. When I got back it was off, and it wouldn't turn back on. After turning the power supply off and on again, it still didn't work. I removed the power cable from the power supply and waited a little while, and after this my pc started up again. This has happened twice now today. After restarting my pc, all of the programs that were running were still going. It wasn't a fresh start. I have no idea what is wrong. If you have any idea what could be wrong, please comment. Thanks in advance!
your pc went into hibernation. some times it takes a bit of time for it to power up again. is it win8?
Yes it is win8, is hibernation good or bad? and what should I do with it? keep it or prevent it?
hibernation is good for when you want to leave your pc for an extended amount of time. it essentially saves the state of your computer to a drive, which makes it ok to cut off all power to your computer without worrying about loss of data. Sleeping your computer will require some small amount of power to be available, but you will be able to turn off and turn it back on a lot quicker.
Check your BIOs/uefi to see if it has wake on mouse/keyboard on/off.
Yes keep it on. Does not hurt the pc, just puts it in a low power state which is a better trade off then turning it completely off.
