PC issue
Hi,
Since couple of weeks i have a problem with my pc. The screen goes off suddenly but the on pc the green light is still on.
When i move the mouse, it doesnt wakes up. to solve this i need to keep on pression the pc power button for couple of secs to power off the computer. After couple of minutes i need to press the power button to restart the pc again.
When screen goes off, i hear a noice louder ( dunno hardisk rotation or cpu fan ).
Its not a monitor issue, i replace another monitor as well as the cables but the issue is same.
Any ideas how to fix the issue ?
Thanks for your reply

Check your power options under Control Panel->Power Options. Is your computer set to go to sleep or turn off the display after a period of time? Some older desktop computers don't like being put to sleep and don't come back out of it cleanly.
i think it is a vga card problem

"i hear a noise louder": Is the noise from the CPU Buzzer, Speakers or something else ? Go to power options and set "turn off monitor" "standby" and other similar options (if available) to never.

In power options, all the settings were set to never.
Willcomp >> the display screen goes off, when pc is in use.
Mody > i meant for noice , when hardisk / cpu fan running, it gives a sound ..When monitor going off, this sound increases and then nothing happens. But still the green light is on on the pc.
Is there any way to check in events, what might me a issue ? like whethere processor is getting over heat, or anything else ?

If your system have Video Card, check if it heats up when the monitor turns OFF. Its likely possible that the Video Card is heating up and becoming non functional. That could also be the reason the PC turns ON after some time. If the computer is connected to the ON BOARD video, check if the north bridge heats (the one close to processor). If heating = YES, try remove the heatsink, apply paste and reseat them. Try install a FAN for better cooling and exhaust. (You may check the Processor heat sink too)

could bad capacitors cause it as well - on mobo or PSU
look for bulging or leaking ones
