Standby - Computer shuts down
« on: September 23, 2005, 12:15:11 PM »
When I put my computer on standby, the whole computer shuts down - and abviously that's not what's supposed to happen.

Do I need to change something within Windows or in the BIOS, if so: what exactly? ???

Thanks in advance.

Everything seems correct, at least from within Windows - I'm guessing I'll need to change something in my BIOS, but I don't know what.

Like merlin said.  your hard disk and everything turns off automatically when it goes to stand by.  go to:

Control Panel
Display
screen saver
power options
power schemes.

change the settings, and you should be a-okay!

You can reset the BIOS to the default values to see if that has any effect.

Thanks guys - like I said, everything is correct in the power settings. I'll try resetting the BIOS is if that does anything.

I thought Standby wasn't supposed to shut the entire PC off - that's what mine does, as if I had selected Shut down instead of Standby. And it doesn't come back on by moving the mouse or touching the keyboard.
