Windows 10: PC goes to sleep, then shuts off but fan and heat continue. Can now power back on.

If I walk away and let the PC go to sleep it will then shut totally off. PC goes to sleep, then shuts down but fan still runs and will not come back on. Pressing the power button does nothing if the battery light is white at this time. I have to let the battery run all the way down and replug getting the orange light and then the power switch will work. my HP EnvyX360 is only 2 months old.

Windows 10 - PC Shuts Down when Waking it up from Sleep

Hi there, I just installed an SSD and all is working perfect, however there is one issue I cannot figure out for the life of me. When my computer goes to full sleep and then I attempt to wake it up, the PC attempts to start up again, fan goes loud, monitors
never come on, fan goes really loud and then abruptly shuts down every time. This happens whether its goes it auto-sleep OR I manually put it to sleep. Any Suggestions?

 

Pc fans start but no light in power button

That button you are pressing and holding for 30 seconds is the ON button. There is no OFF button on a PC.

When Windows goes through its normal shutdown, it does a lot of things. When you power it off that way, it is not able to go through those steps. Each time you do that, there is a chance that you will corrupt the system and it will not be able to start
again later. It's a bit like Russian roulette. Keep it up and you are likely to cause your system to completely fail.

Best advice is to shut down the sleep function and simply shut your system down in the normal way.

The “sleep” or “hibernate” functions that run by default in Windows 7 can prove to be problematic. I advise my clients to restrict hibernate/sleep functions for usage only in absolutely needed circumstances. It is commonly problematic
and seldom ever fixed. Myriads of causes you can spend weeks trying to find. Just not worth it.

FIRST: If you are running a desktop PC, shut down all sleep and hibernate functions. They are of no value and will cause you problems eventually. But, for some notebook PCs, where the computer is used in a truly mobile sense, where
house power is not always available, you need these functions to extend battery life.

Background: The concept of sleep/hibernate was designed to extend battery life. If you are not running on a battery or never do, the very idea is quite useless. If you are doing it because your computer takes a long time to startup,
fix that problem. Under normal circumstances if you are finished using the computer and do not plan to use it again for at least several hours, shut it down. Leaving it running continuously is a sure way to shorten your computer’s life

You can change how these functions behave here:

1. Start globe
2. Type Power options in the text box that pops up
3. Desktop computers:
4. Set all hibernate/sleep functions to NEVER
5. Notebook computers:
6. Again, set all hibernate/sleep functions to NEVER, EXCEPT when it is battery powered.
7. In the Power Options window, Click Change Power Settings
8. Change Advanced Power Settings
9. Set hard disk to turn off after 20 minutes of non-use
10. Under Sleep, several settings:
11. Sleep After NEVER
12. Hybrid after: Never

 

Not entering sleep properly,- fan spin and led lights on.

Got an issue, sometimes when entering sleep mode windows and the pc (intel nuc) continue the normal procedure but seems to miss the last step.

Instead of turning off the power button led it stays on, also the fan spins. Then the only way to turn it on is to hold in the power button and hard reset.

Any ideas?
