I manually put my PC to sleep but as it was going down, I nudged the mouse. The screens went black as expected but I then found the PC would not wake up again. I tried a restart from the case button but the HDD light was dead. The power light was on but not flashing as it does when asleep. I forced a shutdown with the case button, left it for 2 minutes and then tried to start again but no response. I tried this a few times but then gave up. I left the PC with the power light on while I turned to my laptop to search the net for any advice but Googling just showed the expected BSOD or Safe Mode issues, or no power. I returned to the study to find the manufacturers logo on the screen, but no further response to continue bootup. All that was available was F1 BIOS option which I entered. Nothing obvious was showing so I saved and exited with no changes. The PC then started a normal boot into Windows and all was fine again.
Sorry about the protracted story but can anyone tell me what happened? The issue is fixed but I would like to know out of curiosity.
