Having an issue where the computer won’t wake up from sleep mode, so today’s comic will be delayed. Apologies.
Today's edition of the Secret Commentary is empty, because Dave failed to come up with something for it.
Ooof sorry to hear that 🙁 Best of luck on you getting it fixed!
Might just need a CMOS reset, which is a quick and easy fix.
No worries, Dave. It’s ready when it’s ready.
Stupid lazy computer, won’t get up after binge drinking last night.
Or even binge raiding in a MUD/MUC
That’s never fun. I’m guessing hard restart isn’t helping much either, or is there stuff that wasn’t yet saved that a hard restart would lose (and trying everything before the nuclear option)?
Either way, these things happen, and I hope it ends up being easy enough to resolve.
Did the magic smoke escape?
Maybe the “Anthill Inside” collapsed.
That happens to mine on occasion. Unfortunately what happened is the harddrive turned off. Only way to fix it is a hard restart. I hope everything was saved!
That’s unfortunate, and I wish you luck getting it resolved.
On the plus side, at least there’s nothing dead in there!
Please consider buying a better CPU fan.
The stocks are alright for office work but after some time they really just give out.
I had a computer do something similar. May your computer end better than mind did!
*Computer PROBLEM end better than mine did. Can’t even blame it being late for the typing problems right now…
No, serzly, unplug it from the wall, wait 30 seconds, plug back in. In sleep mode, if there’s a voltage hiccough, they can get stuck. Car pulls up to the stop light but stalls? Yeah, similar.
Post when you can, we’ll be here.
Alternately, if your power supply has its own switch, you can turn it off for 30 seconds and turn it back on.
I’m assuming you’ve tried holding the power button for 30+ seconds to force a cold boot.
Never. Use. Sleep. Mode.
If you must, hibernate. It’s a more stable mode. It does take a bit longer, but its also a full off state, with restore to state.
Honestly. Never have anything essential suspended in either S3 or S4…
Yay for Warranties! Glad it sounds like you don’t have to pay a massive amount for your PC.
