Preventing Standby

[Guest flahmeshess]

Lately, I notice that my machine does not go into standby. Neither

does the monitor turn off.

I wonder how would the computer know whether to go into standby or

not ? What "resets" the standby timer or monitor turnoff timer ?

 

Thanks !

Busy software(CPU activity) files being written to the harddrive, noise

from the mouse or keyboard.
