Change the sleep to hibernate. There are tomes on the web about sleep issues and which one is it this time? The clues are not here. Change it to hibernate and you will likely get all the benefit of power saving and faster than a cold boot startup.
I'm not very computer savvy so forgive me if this is a dumb question. I recently purcahased a refurbished HP Pavilion 500 desk top computer, for the last week or so I have had this problem. When I put it to sleep or when it stands idol and puts itself to sleep I can not get it to wake up, I have to shut it off at the tower and then start it back up again. Any help or advice would be much appreciated...thanks!
