I pressed sleep on my computer, it went into a hibernation mode but didn't

return from it. I have tried everything to get it to start but it's dead. I

have tried to reset, shut it off, even pulled out the power cord, but it

won't start.

 

Can anyone help

thnx in advance

Always helps to post the type ( Desktop/Notebook ) - vendor &

model number of the PC.

 

Working with Sleep states can encompass all kinds of factors. An

out-of-date BIOS flash code, Motherboard Chipset drivers, NIC

and USB Power Management settings......

 

One often overlooked issue is the time the Power button is depressed.

Some PCs require a Press and Hold for several seconds for the

system to respond. If it's a notebook, try removing the battery &

then retry the power button. Without other details it isn't easy to

give you advice or steps to resolve.
