Comp turns off after Sleep mode

[Macks]

Hi I'd appreciate any help with this:

I regularly use the sleep button on my keyboard and have not had a problem until today. I would resume after hitting a key on my keyboard and it would wake up fine.

However, I noticed now once I resume, the monitor comes alive again but the OS begins to immediately shut down. So in actual fact I have to boot up again from cold and thus defeating the idea of putting it to sleep in the first place.

I haven't changed any settings the only thing that has changed lately is I installed a game. Though I have checked my power saving settings to see if anything was amiss.

The 'when I press the sleep button on my computer' is set to 'standby' and I even turned off the 'Enable Hibernation' check box but it still powers me down.

Thanks for any input.

What happens if you uninstall that game?

I just uninstalled the game. Then I pushed sleep again and it went into sleep mode (the power light flashes). Unfortunately when I pressed a key it resumed immediately to shutdown again.

Bizarre. I can't seem to find anything on the web either of similar situations.
