Computer will not remain in standby mode.

I have a computer with Windows XP, about 5 years old who often will not remain in standby mode. After 30-45 seconds it starts again and the display shows again the office.

Does anyone have a suggestion/recommendation what to do about it?

Thanks, any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hello JJLinker, welcome.

The issue is likely caused by "Wake by " settings in your power options. This gives a shot:

1. click on START
2. right click "My computer" and select "Properties".
"3. click on the tab"Hardware", then select Device Manager.
4. expand the "Network adapters" category
5. right click on each of the devices and select "Properties".
6. on each, go to the tab "power management."
7 turn off the checkbox "allow this device to wake...". ' and click on 'Ok '.
8. close all windows and restart the computer

Let us know what happens

  • : HP Quicktouch on screen has stopped working, computer will not remain once I connect.

    So looking at the forums and everywhere on the internet, I know this problem starts because of an update that I installed it. But what I'm trying to understand why my computer will not remain after that window opens after I connect, because it restarts whenever I log in. I became extremely frustrated with this issue and I really don't know what to do. of course, there is the system restore, but that work? I can't find quicktouch in my list of programs to uninstall in safe mode, because this is the only mode that will allow me to stay very long. so if anyone has the answer please help me, it's super frustrating.

    Hi cavalierfanatic247,

    Thank you for using the Microsoft answers Forum.

    Start on Safe Mode desktop.

    Remove the update that caused the broadcast of programs and features in Control Panel by clicking View installed updates.

    If you are not able to remove the update, use the utility window cleaning to remove the update. See the link below:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/290301

    If the steps above did not fix the problem, try to restore the system to a previous point before windows update when it worked fine.

    To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:

    Click Start, type system restore in the search box, and then click System Restore in the list programs. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

    In the System Restore dialog box, click on choose another restore point and then click Next.

    In the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.

    You have an Essentials and HP drivers disk?

    If the system restore is not enough, you can use the HP Essentials and the disk drivers to uninstall and reinstall the quick key.

    Click Finish.

  • my computer will not go into "standby".

    A year ago, I bought a used computer at a local store.  the mobo is an Athlon XP 2100 +, 1.74 GHz with 3 GB of RAM.  It runs XP Home SP3, with auto-mises updated lit.  Since I bought it, I was not able to 'wake up' mode standby - waving the mouse, pressing a key, nothing works.  the only way to recover is to unplug the power and start over.  I contacted the store on this matter, thinking that they are able to 'tweak' something, but at the time, they had a 3 week wait, and as a system used, there was no guarantee (minimum fee of $75, $75 / hr of pocket), so I abandoned this idea.  I have a XP Home CD I bought for my old computer (just in case the preloaded software crashes, which was eventually), but windows indicates that the currently installed version is newer than the version on my CD.  I have a copy of windows 7, but no DVD player, so installation is not an option (most of my current software is not compatible with windows 7 anyway).  ideas, suggestions, etc.?

    Hello

    ·         You have the latest graphics drivers installed?

    A lot of standby and hibernation problems can be attributed to graphics cards. A simple driver update might get hibernation works again.

    Method 1: Check if you have the latest display and video drivers. Log on to the computer manufacturer website and look for the same thing.

    Method 2: Make sure your device is authorised to the computer.

     

    a. open the keyboard Control Panel item, as described in method 1.

    b. click on the hardware tab, and then click Properties.

    c. click the Edit settings button

    Note This step requires administrator access

    d. click the power management tab and check that allow it this device to wake the computer is turned on.

    e. click OK, and then click OK again. Do the same for the mouse and other pointing devices.

    Method 3: An update of the BIOS (Basic Input/output System) could also resolve the issue. Check the website of your system provider to see if one is available.

    Note: Be careful when you change the BIOS settings. The BIOS interface is designed for advanced users, and it is possible to change a setting that can prevent your computer from starting properly.

    Regarding the relocation, you will need to the same installation CD that was used to install on this computer. You will need to boot from the CD to reinstall Windows XP by using the CD you have.

  • computer does not start in normal mode

    HP Pavilion dv9000, 32-bit, Windows Vista Home Premium, service pack 2

    The computer was working normally. I connected a HDMI cable to use a larger external monitor (hp w2207h). I did several times without problem. I plugged in the cable, then turned on the external monitor. The screen of the laptop goes immediately black that I turned on the external monitor (not like a normal screen transfer). The external screen has no image. The f4 button did nothing. I turned off the external monitor. All disconnected. I couldn't get a picture on the laptop. Finally, I pushed the power button until the computer turns off. I restarted the computer with no attachments. Power goes to the screen on a black screen. The 'hp invent' logo appears then. Then Microsoft name with the long box with green lines running from left to right. So far, so good, everything seems normal. Then, after a minute or two lines green running, the computer stops and the screen goes black, just at the time must appear the opening of session and password screen. The hard drive light also stops flickering, and all what happens is the fan works and there is a black screen. The computer froze. I let the computer frozen for an hour. Nothing happened. I am able to restart computer in SafeMode (f8), but the screen is filled with columns of red dashes. The computer will not update in safe mode. In addition, a new message is displayed. While running in safe mode, instead of my normal screensaver appearing, a message appears that says "the screen saver can't run because it requires a more recent or compatible with Direct3D video card." I don't know even what is Direct3D. I am grateful for the suggestions or pointers to internal diagnostic programs or free online diagnostic tools links. I also never set up system restore.

  • Hard drives will not remain in mode 'sleep'

    For two weeks, something strange happens. My hard drives in sleep mode and out instantly. They will not remain in mode 'sleep'. Any hour of delay, I place, they will behave like this. So even if I place a time to sleep 1 minute, you will hear them go to sleep and instantly out every minute, without interruption. It's used to work perfectly before for months. I have not installed anything again (with the exception of Windows updates). I checked with performance monitor, if something is accessing the disks, but there is no drive activity whatsoever. I also tried to stop the process as much as possible, but that did not help either. The only thing I've changed three weeks ago was my graphics (Radeon 6850 to GTX580) but I'm not sure that the problem started then. Only two weeks ago, I noticed the issue. If anyone else has experienced something like this?

    the windows system restore feature is a very important system.

    and if it is defective or failed in some way, then this may be a sign that your whole system could be damaged or unstable.

    what you can try is execution of the system via safe mode restore.

    If this does not work yet, so the next step is to move your personal files, documents, photos and send boxes out of the system because the following methods that will help restore your system can put your personal files safe.

    so after trying safe mode stage and or copy your personal files from the system, we can take the next steps.
