This started about 3 weeks ago. The screen would go black if I let the computer idle but it wouldn't wake back up. I could hear the fan running and the white power light was burning steady. I had to physically power it down then back on. I'd get the screen asking to start with command prompt, etc or start normally. A couple of times it asked to do a repair. The chkdsk ran twice. I had to do a reformat and reinstall but that hasn't repaired the sleep/no wake up problem.
Several times, when I would try to access the computer after it had been sitting a while, the fan would be running continuously. Is my hard drive going bad? My power plan is "balanced."
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
