Hello,

I just bought a used laptop 2 days ago. Unfortunately I am at work right now so I do not have the model, its from 2012 and I believe is just a 1.6ghz celeron processor with Win 7.

It did not have ANY new updates, and it took me a few hours to download and install new updates.

Well when I shutdown the laptop, I will come back hours later and see it blinking. I will open the laptop and it will randomly be in sleep mode! It does not do this right away, takes a while. I checked the power settings to make sure nothing is out of the ordinary, any suggestions?

I suggest an exorcism your ram may be haunted.

But really you may not have shut it down properly? It is new and all, so that's my best guess, computers don't turn themselves on from complete shutdown.

Well it isn't new, it was used, but wiped clean.

And I click start > shutdown. It shutsdown. It stays black, opening and closing it does nothing, touching the keyboard and keys does nothing. It stays shut down.

Then I will come back hours later and I will open it and it turns on! Like it was in sleep mode and I just click my icon and I am on the main menu.
