Computer constantly enters stand by mode on its own
« on: December 04, 2009, 12:39:09 PM »
My Acer Aspire 4720z notebook constantly enters stand by mode on its own.  It started out only doing it when it first booted up, and would do it 2-4 times.  Now it continues to do this every15-3- minutes.  I was given a script to disable Stand By mode and for the duration of that day it worked.  But now its back to its usual stand by tactics.  I even tried running the script again, but no luck.  I had tried to change the ACPI driver (I have a Dual Processor) to the standard ACPI, and that fixed the stand by issue, but obviously made the computer EXTREMELY slow.  I restored back and now again have the stand by issue.  Any suggestions?

I am using:

XP SP3

Intel Pentium dual CPU
1.87GHz, 2Gb Ram
