My computer is less than a month old and only the first couple of times did it wake up from sleep mode when I activated it overnight. However soon after whenever I put my computer to sleep during the night, I found myself having to press the power button in order to turn it on. I don't know if there's something wrong with the battery or if there's another hardware issue but although it's not a drastic problem, it is minorly inconvenient. To put it simply, when I press the sleep button or close the lid (both are set to go to sleep) overnight my laptop will shut down because the next morning when I open the lid and press a couple of buttons, the light indicator for the screen won't even come on. If it's less than a couple of hours since I pressed the sleep button or closed the lid, the laptop will wake up fine, more than that and it will turn off. I've checked the condition of my battery and even reset it but that did nothing to fix the problem. From the information I've gathered while searching the web, the best solution is to upgrade the BIOS. My computer came with V1.26 and I haven't done anything to mess with it since then. I've looked at the possible BIOS upgrades and since there are a lot, I don't know which one to upgrade to because the one that says it fixes the screen blacking out is a lower version than the one I already have and I've read that downgrading your BIOS can be harmful. But I've also read that upgrading your BIOS can be harmful as well so I'm not sure how to proceed. I'm just hoping that this is a problem I can fix myself and if anyone out there has any advice or information that could be beneficial, that would really be swell.

P.S. I can't even run the Power Troubleshooter because this version of Windows (Windows 11 64-bit) doesn't have it.
