Any idea what would cause this? Nothing works to turn it back on but turning off the power and starting it up again. I fucking hate computers.

If it's still entering sleep mode and doesn't allow you to exit that mode try turning off the computer and waiting 10 minutes. Turn it back on and see if that helps. If not, reboot your computer and enter bios setup and manually disable power features (but do this carefully, it's easy to reset or change the wrong thing which could result in your computer acting worse or even catching fire.) Just out of curiosity on my part, is your hard drive making any noises like that of a screeching tire or crying girl?

Have you recently dropped it or accidentally kicked it? Check the fan to make sure it's not overheating and avoid getting it wet (i.e., keep it away from coffee mugs and moist shower towels).

Probably draws more power than my air conditioner, but I love a challenge!

So another problem (probably related) is when I am playing a video game (wow or whatever) sometimes the music starts skipping. Has never done this before. And sometimes the game freezes for like 2 seconds and when it does this the power pack (or fan) makes a sort of winding down noise like it is about to turn off.
