When I put my computer into sleep mode, some weird things happen. It turns off smoothly and quickly, and turns back on equally fast, it's just that after I turn my computer back on, there's a bit of a catch, my screen looks like this:

Derp. There's lot's of my desktop on there, plenty of CEF, I even saw a few fragments of my signature. Anyone know what's going on?

Would help to know OS, video card, and other hardware we are dealing with.

I have read issues like yours before but of Vista OS. There are some that triggers this which may have caused your problem. It's a case-to-case basis, but you could check on this:(can't post URL yet)

Thanks, spikerock, but those articles seem more like problems with waking up, not problems upon waking up. When I press the power button on my computer from that screen, I get the "windows is shutting down" screen, no weird fragments, and my computer shuts down like nothing ever happened.

Shota, I also spent like 1.2 grand on my computer, in fact, I wish I'd bought something a little more reasonable. I didn't have a great sense of how much performance could do what before I turned it on and thought, "Oh, shit, this is so awesome, but that was such a waste of my savings".

If that only happens for a few seconds while its waking up, then it's nothing to worry about.

You can try the following to see if it helps.

-Update graphic drivers
-Update bios
-In bios, change the power management settings and set it to S3

I think I would definately check out that bios as kls85 suggested.

It doesn't just show that screen for a second or two. It stays there, and my computer is completely dysfunctional except for the mouse, until I press the power button and it shuts down perfectly normally as if nothing was wrong.

I'd still do as kls85 suggests and update video drivers and double check your bios settings. Could be something spiking on wake from suspend, something throwing off voltage perhaps.

I have gotten similar issues before from video but it was due to a bad card, and I couldn't get mine to reliably reproduce it. You could also reseat your video card.

Also check in the event log there may be something in there.
