my computer's been acting weird lately. whenever i try to turn it on by the power button it won't turn on. After i hold the power button for about 9 seconds, i press it again and it will turn on. but as soon as i get it on.. it turns off automatically after a minute or so. \
it's weird because the power goes out but the light stays on in my mouse and keyboard. so in order to restart this. i turn off the main switch (located in the back of my computer) and turn it back on in a minute. as soon as i do that.. i have to restart the process.
after about 20 tries, i guess the computer gives in and it stays on. what's wrong with my computer!? can anyone help?
i've read many, many post but no one has a problem like mine.
thanks a lot !

Search first! Forum or Google, you'll find this exact question any number of times.
Nothing is wrong with your PC, this is the standard, out of the factory behaviour.
It's called Hibernate. When you hold the power button down then press it again, you are actually turning the computer fully off then on again. Similarly, when your screen goes blank after a few minutes, it is your PC cutting the video output to save power.
You can turn hibernation off from Control Panel > Power Options.

Please anyone, correct me if I am wrong. It is the best way for me to learn.
