Hello Mitz,
My laptop has a blue screen with a flashing cursor, I have tried turning it off ctrl. alt delete, powering it down F2 and F12 nothing works. Any additional ideas you may have for me to try.

Hi, thanks for explanations!

Earlier, my PC was not powered by UPS. I has noticed that when PC is in sleep mode, and AC power goes off – yes, this is often in Ukraine – then I cannot wake up PC in any way, except by resetting BIOS.
Now my PC is powered by UPS. Sometimes PC does not wake from sleep, again. Can it be failure in UPS? Should I buy newer motherboard, or change UPS battery?

Thanks! I didn’t have to ask my husband to help and that is always a good thing.
My computer had both the keyboard and mouse enabled to wake up the machine. I’ve noticed that it’s when I leave photoshop up and walk away that it gives me trouble and won’t wake up. Or when it does wake up a black screen stares at me for awhile. I’ll just need to save everything before I walk away.

Thank you very much! Couldn’t think of why this wasn’t working on my new build until I came across this. Keep up the great work!

Sometimes you just have to tap the power button on the front of the Computer, same with a lap top. Sometimes hibernation can be confused with stand by but do not hold it down or yeah that will restart the pc all together. Although most programs now like MS Word have excellent restore features as do most browsers.

Hi Gwenda
Can you try to get into safe mode by pressing F8 when starting your computer and choosing it from the menu of choices. If you can, let’s start up in safe mode and then shut it down correctly. Let me know if you can do this?

My computer went into sleep mode yesterday and now I can’t get anything on the screen – not even a flashing underscore. However, the green monitor light is flashing. Are you able to assist, please? By the way, I did have a usb data stick left in but this has now been removed. I have also turned the computer off and back on, no change. And also turned the monitor off at the wall, left it and turned back on. No change.
