Guest Forbeskin Posted September 8, 2007 Posted September 8, 2007 Hi, Very recently my computer has developed a condition where it will not stay in Standby mpode, either automatic or manual. It will go in to Standby but will immediately fire up again within a couple of seconds. This problem has only just developed in the last week. Computer is fully updated and I have not added any software or hardware lately. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Rod

Guest Unknown Posted September 9, 2007 Posted September 9, 2007 Re: Standby Problem in Win XP - Will not stay in Standby mode In an attempt to diagnose this problem, why not first disable the mouse from being able to bring it out of standby? Then disable the keyboard. If unsuccessful go into BIOS and turn off any 'wake ons'.
