My computer has worked perfect for 2 years.
Reciently when i put it in sleep mod, the power
supply does not completely shut off. The
power supply's fans still spin slowly and the
fans on the case spin slowly. The computer
then will not let me wake it from sleep. I have
to switch off the power supply to restart the
computer. I have not added any new
hardware. I did a system restore and I tried
changing out my RAM. The only thing I can
think of is my power supply is going bad. Is
this typically an issue when power supplies go
bad. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
THANK YOU!

How about not using sleep mode? or standby or hibernate? Adjust your power scheme settings instead.

That's actually what I'm doing now but I would like to have it go
into sleep to save electricity. I'm not sure what would cause this
to start happening all of a sudden. It was working great for 2
years.
