Guest flahmeshess Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 Previously, my machine would go into standby at the preset time. But now, sometimes it does not. The PC also does not turn off the screen at the preset time. I wonder what would prevent the machine from going to standby ? What would reset the timer so that it does not kick off the standby mode. Hard disk access ? Lan Activities ? Keyboard activities ? Mouse activities ? CPU utilisation ? Thanks for any advice !

Guest flahmeshess Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 Re: Preventing Standby Sorry, I've been double posting lately. Don't know why I'm not able to see them until later. Anyway, I think my PC is busier but those activities does stop writing to HDD in the middle of the night. So I don't know why it does not go to standby. Would lan activity cause it to stop going into standby ? Assuming it does not write to disk. Are there any tools that I can use to record what is stopping it to go into standby ? Would be good to have one ! Bob I wrote: > flahmeshess wrote: > > > Previously, my machine would go into standby at the preset time. But > > now, sometimes it does not.
