Computer wont turn to stand-by
5 Answers
Hi, my computer will not turn off to the standby mode for the last few months. I am using XP. I recently erased the hard drive due to all the rubbish that me and the kids put on it and I was hoping that this would solve the problem but to no avail!! Any ideas on how I can find out what is causing this? Thanks Dave

don't run any repairs
tfg is on the money
there are three things you need to have
1 a bios that supports APM (and you might have to enable it)
2 all the motherboard drivers installed
3 APM enabled in control panel
look in control panel | system | hardware
there should be no yellow flags
here is mine - look at the red dots
