Guest Danger_Duck Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 So sometimes when I tell my computer to standby, it will do so, but after few minutes, the fan will start roaring and the CD drive sounds like it's spinning its heart out. During these antics, the computer comes back from standby without even touching the mouse or keyboard (perhaps fury of the fan moved the mouse a bit? No idea). Anyhow, since this is not a software problem and hence no stack trace etc. I have no idea what's going on or how to fix it. Suggestions?
Guest John Barnett MVP Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 Re: Strange Behavior-not sure what to do The phone doesn't ring at all just prior to the PC springing to life? Check the BIOS to see if Wake on LAN or Wake On Ring is enabled; if so disable them and see if this fixes the problem. -- -- John Barnett MVP Associate Expert Windows Desktop Experience Web: http://xphelpandsupport.mvps.org Web: http://vistasupport.mvps.org The information in this mail/post is supplied "as is".
