I've had this custom built pc for over a year, I didn't make it but I bought it from some dude who custom built it for himself.
It's great but it has problems booting or returning from being asleep.
I'd LOVE to turn my pc to sleep when I leave the house but half of the time it won't boot back on, or my peripherals won't turn on, or some other problem. I don't put it to sleep anymore because it causes more problems than it fixes.
Lately it's been REALLY hot in my house. I've been turning my pc off while I sleep to keep my room cool for the past couple of days.
Problem day 1: Power on, case lights up, peripherals and monitor won't turn on. Press reset and it works.
Problem day 2: Power on, case lights up, peripherals power on, computer freezes at Windows logo screen.
Problem day 3 (today): Try powering on for about 20 minutes, case is lit up but peripherals and monitor won't turn on. I tried powering off and resetting for awhile. Eventually it all powered on, and my peripherals were lit up. It got to my desktop, but then my applications stopped starting up and I realized my mouse and keyboard were not responsive despite being lit up. I reset once and it FINALLY worked.
What could be causing this? As far as I'm aware, this pc has always had quirks trying to boot up. I've replaced the PSU from about 550w to 725w in the past 6 months. It's super annoying, my pc is great other than that issue. It would be nice to be able to turn it off.
