Acer Predator windows 7 continues to go into sleep mode before I can start any programs?

haileyclovis

I have a 3 year old predator. When I turn on the PC it appears to be working for about 10 seconds and then the moniter goes blank with the message "no signal", the PC on/off button turns yellow yet all the fans are still turning and the PC seems to be in sleep mode? Tried to restore from backup but PC keeps going into sleep mode after 10 seconds. Please Help!! I really like this PC and it is a power house!!!

To prevent your computer from automatically going into sleep mode, you can follow the steps below:
1. Click the "Start" button, then click "Control Panel", then click "System and Security", and then click "Power Options".
2. On the "Select a power plan" page, click "Change plan settings" next to the selected plan.
3. On the "Change settings for the plan" page, click "Change advanced power settings".
4. On the "Advanced settings" tab, double-click "Sleep", and then double-click "Sleep after".
5. As you're using a desktop computer, click "Setting", click the arrow, and then click "Never".

Thank you everyone, you are a fantastic group using your time to help others! After more inspection Idiscovered that my No.1 Memory port had gone bad so I moved the simms to the 2 and 4 slots and it is working great now.
