Computer shuts down after entering sleep mode

Question

Computer shuts down after entering sleep mode

Tan 20

Hi, I've been dealing with this issue the last few weeks, whereby I would leave my computer on sleep mode after a few minutes and when I come back a few hours later my PC would shut down. When I press any buttons/my mouse to wake up my pc, RAM sticks would light up for about 1 second and nothing happens and I have to manually turn it on.

Attempted to run power logs for viewing purposes.

cd \

powercfg /sleepstudy

Please check to see if your PC is producing any small Watchdog dump files, I will check those to see if they provide any insight into a potential cause of the system crashes.

Open Windows File Explorer.

Navigate to C:\Windows\LiveKernelReports

If there are any Watchdog dump files in the sub-folders of that folder, copy the files onto your Desktop, then zip those up.

Upload the zip file to the Cloud (OneDrive... etc.), then choose to share those and get a share link.

Then post the link here to the zip file, so I can take a look for you.

The only DMP file I found is within C:\Windows\LiveKernelReports. There is nothing in those sub-folders.

I have tried to download your file, it is huge and not downloading successfully from FileBin, please zip up the file and upload it to a different cloud service.

Your dump file data indicates it is the WiFi drivers that caused your system to crash.

The best option is to go to the support page for your PC or motherboard on the manufacturers website to download and reinstall the version of WiFi (WLAN) drivers they provide for your system model.
