My computer starts to go into standby and it freezes before it goes into standby. You have to shut down computer by the power button. Control=Alt=Delete won't work. I'm running Windows XP home edition. Thank you for any assistance with this issue.

This is for hibernation but could apply

I don't have a NERO CD Burner and none of the others corrected or pertained to my partcular problem. I went in and disabled the standby, placing to never standby, and when I returned it was frooze saying it was preparing to hibernate. I don't know what's up. I now have the hibernate disabled. is that good or bad, bad yeah?

I never use hibernate, it has never been enabled

Microsoft only have plenty on the problem when returning from standby

Okay Keith I'll watch it over the next few days and see what happenings, it hasn't frozen up, but when I came by earlier today after being gone for a couple hours and my screensaver was not activated. It's set to go on after 20 minutes.

My computer continues to shutdown and go into standby mode by itself, especially when i'm on the internet or anything which uses the internet. Before my computer goes into standby mode it freezes and then shuts down.

Please help me with the problem, thank you.

I am sorry I haven't responded. I turned off standby and hibernate, now it freezes up when you try to shut down the computer . It says "Windows preparing to shutdown"
