GeneralPC goes to sleep Pin

Hello,

I'm not sure if this is a hardware or software problem. But it only happens
in the Windows environment. What happens is the PC turns off power to the
monitor and CD drives after booting up to the logon screen or sometimes I
can get past that and actually get into Windows before it goes to sleep. It
acts like when the power saving options are set to turn off the monitor at a
certain time. I checked that when I could get on and it wasn't set to go off
for 30 min. I then turned it off all together. I also set the BIOS back to defaults.

After it goes to sleep, the PC is still on and the HD light is still on,
but after it goes to sleep, I can't move the mouse or strike a key to get it
to wake up like normal. I have to power it all the way off and restart it.
It sometimes will not even get to the logon screen before clicking off. It
just almost makes it to it. Very intermittent lately to when it goes off.
But, I've noticed it's doing it more often now where I can't get on at all
most of the time.

I've tried to reformat the HD and reinstall XP thinking I had a virus or
something. But, once I get into the XP windows looking setup screens(after
the first install restart) it blinks out again. It won't do that when I am
in the beginning DOS looking setup XP install screens. I even tried my
WIN98 disk and got through the whole install before it decided to blink out
again.

Other things I've tried - another video card in another PCI slot.Confused | :confused:

Does anyone have any suggestions? Is this enough information?

Thanks

Lance
