Computer went into sleep mode and will not wake up!

I have a HP Pavilion a350n which I love and have never had a problem with it.....until now.
When I turn it on I get a black screen with a small window that reads "Warning" "PC entering power saving mode" Then the screen goes blank and the blue power light on the monitor turns an amber color. The only way I can turn off the computer is with the blue power button on the front of the tower.
Every "fix" I have come across says to do a System Restore from the Start Menu....How do you get to the start menu when you can't wake up the computer!
I have tried disconnecting the main power cord from the outlet and reconnecting it and turning the computer back on. Nothing but the same "Warning....."
I tied hitting the F1 button at turning on the unit and nothing......
I checked the monitor connection at the rear of the computer and can't see any bent or broken pins. Cord looks great too.
I took the back off and was going to try and unseat the memory card and reseat it again, but I don't know much about the inside of a computer and am not sure where the memory card is or what the hec it even looks like!
Thanks for any help!

First try another monitor. What type and model of monitor do you have now?
If the computer turns off also, it could be shutting down due to hardware issues. Open the case and clean out the dust and then pull the video card and memory and reseat them. Then try to boot up.

Hello @rosendahl14,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I have read your post on how your monitor goes into sleep mode and will not wake up, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
To rule out any sleep mode issues with the monitor, I am providing you with some steps you can try below:
Step 1. Unplug the power cord from the back of the monitor and the wall
Step 2. Hold the power button down for at least one minute
Step 3. Plug the power cord back into the monitor and then into the wall outlet (not a power bar or surge protector)
Step 4. Press the Menu button on the monitor
Step 5. Navigate to the Factory Reset option and select it
Step 6. Try a different cable connecting your monitor to your computer
If the above steps did not resolve your issue you can try the monitor on a computer or other device to see if the issue persists. Please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

I have a macbook air that is not connecting to the internet correctly. I've had it connected for three weeks, it went into sleep mode, and will not reconnect. It will connect to other wireless routers (I've tested it) but not the one at my apartment.

The problem is not happening with any other device that I have. My iPad, iPhone and another laptop all connect fine. In fact, it's not even the connection. The computer will connect to the net. It just will not open any page. It starts to open and then hangs and hangs. It will not move. Weird since it worked great for three weeks and then all of the sudden, nothing. Click on Safari and I have short hope that it will move and NOTHING! Any thoughts why it would hang up like this and only with this specific network?

This is a known Lion issue, hopefully solved in 10.7.3. But may not be solved immediatly after updating, that was my case.
To make it work i followed those steps.
1.- Restart
2.- Lion 10.7.2 Update
3.- Uninstall netwokrs
4.- Shut down
5.- SMC reset
6.- Reinstall networks
I dont know whether all the above steps are necessary, but for me the update didn't work properly before SMC reset. (I am running a MBA mid2011)
Hope it helps,
Cheers

TS3694 My iPad 2 (16GB, WiFi only) went into recover mode and will not allow restoration from iTunes. Error message 3014. Anyone come across this and a possible solution?

Error code 3014 question. iPad 2 (WiFi only, 16GB) went into recover mode. I am not able to restore from iTunes. iPad had the latest software & iMac is latest as well. iPad has very few applications... < 6GB used prior to this.
Any help.

Sorry but that was a completely pointless post.

Updated to iOS 6.1.2, phone went into recovery mode and will not restore, help?

exactly as the title says.
error 3194 came up and well yeah, nothing's working.

Most likely you previously used an iPhone hacking utility such as tinyumbrella that messed with your computer hosts file, blocking access to the Apple server gs.apple.com. See this:
Error 1004, 1013, 1638, 3014, 3194: These errors may be the result of the connection to gs.apple.com being redirected or blocked. Follow these steps to resolve these errors:
Install the latest version of iTunes.
Check security software. Ensure that communication to gs.apple.com is allowed. Follow this article for assistance with security software. iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.
Check the hosts file. The restore will fail if there is an active entry to redirect gs.apple.com. FollowiTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting to edit the hosts file or revert to a default hosts file. See section "Blocked by configuration: (Mac OS X/Windows) > Rebuild network information".
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

I have a WD Passport HD attached to my Mac. When it was last connected it went into sleep mode and ran out of battery. Now I cannot find my HD in Finder and Disk Utilities is telling me it cannot repair the HD. Any ideas on how to recover my data?

I have a WD Passport HD attached to my Mac. When it was last connected it went into sleep mode and ran out of battery. Now I cannot find my HD in Finder and Disk Utilities is telling me it cannot repair the HD. I can see the HD but the volume part is greyed out. Any ideas on how to recover my data?

There are other methodologies of scanning a HD
which involve data extraction, but loss of metadata is often the result if the directory is corrupt.
Metadata is the info on what the data IS.
Like having all your papers thrown in the air, its all there, but just a giant mess.
This is why you always always must have several external HD redundancies of your data. One isnt enough, neither is two really.

HP Desk top Model # 500314 Sleep Mode/Moniter will not wake up

HP Desk Top Model 500314- Windows 8.1 OS.
PC will go into sleep mode but after approx 15/20 minutes when I want to wake it up the PC wakes up but the moniter will not wake up(just a black screen).
I have reset the power settings numerious times with all variations! same results. It is strange that the sleep mode works fine for the first 15 to 20 minutes and then the problem appears?
All other aspects of the PC seem to be working alright. This is a new PC about 2 months old and the problem appeared from the first time it was turned on. All the latest Drivers and Windows updates are installed. HELP!

My iphone put its self into recovery mode and will not let me restore it what can i do ?

i am really stuck my iphone does not seem to work it will not connect to itunes and i really do not know what to do it keeps telling me yo connect to itunes and restore but this is not working. i think the iphone software may be damaged but i am not sure has any one got any ideas :/ ?

Put the phone in DFU mode (google it) and then restore.

My iphone 4 will not go into recovery mode, and will not charge or connect to itunes. Also, it randomly shuts down.

So when I plug it in, it doesn't recognize that it's being plugged in. I've checked the charger cord, and everything. By the way, I think it's ios 7.1.2, but I'm not sure. It's definately ios 7

Try holding the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons down until the Apple logo does not reappear--even if it takes a few minutes. Then try the DFU mode.

My iphone 5 went into search mode and I can't place or receive calls or use the internet but my text messages work. Sprint had me do a master reset and my phone doesn't work at all now I can't get it past the activation. Will I have to pay in store?

Sprint had me do a master reset and my phone doesn't work at all now I can't get it past the activation. Will I have to pay for repairs in store because I didnt get the Apple care plan when I purchased it. Sprint said it may be a phone problem not sure if I should take it to Sprint or Apple...I just need my phone

I'm sorry to learn that you are not able to make/receive calls chelseabee! (ticket number removed) results indicate that there is no issues with the network or account provisioning. Since you have already done a hard reset http://vz.to/1gBkSJc (as per your post), I recommend exploring replacement options. If your phone is within the one year manufacturers' warranty we can provide a Certified Like New replacement http://vz.to/uyYF0o as long as no physical/liquid damage exist. If your phone has sustained physical/water damage and you have insurance, you can submit a claim to the insurance company online at this link http://bit.ly/07CrqPK

My ipod touch wouldn't turn on because I dropped it, so I plugged it into the computer. It went into recovery mode and is now stuck on a waiting for ipod screen. The ipod shows the apple logo and an empty loading bar.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My phone went into recovery mode and had to be factory restored, I hadnt backed it up to either the cloud or a computer in a long time and therefore I have lost all of my messages. Is there anyway to get the messages without a recent backup?

No.

Since installing Mac OS X 10.9.2, when my computer sleeps, it frequently will not wake up, and I have to restart from scratch. Any advice?

The OP said that the computer will not awake from sleep, but did not mention any troulble with WiFi.
Are the troubleshooting steps for fixing a WiFi connection after waking from sleep relevant to a computer that fails to wake up at all?
Perhaps.
