Computer Coma
I've had many dealings with computers that were set to go into suspend or "sleep" mode from within the windows operating system. The computer would go to sleep, but when the customer would attempt to "Wake" it up by pressing the power switch, the computer would just sit there without doing anything.
For whatever reason, some computers will go into a "Computerized Coma" when they switch into suspend or sleep mode. It basically goes brain dead for some reason, and pulling the power cable, reconnecting it and pressing the power switch does no good.
You can recover from this problem by simply resetting the CMOS, and it takes about two minutes to open the case, move the battery jumper on the motherboard to clear the CMOS, then move it back to normal position and fire up the machine.
After this you have to enter the BIOS and re-set all your entries for proper operation of the system.
I hope this may help someone who has been having a similar problem.
