| 114222 | 2003-01-15 18:25:00 | My PC tends to switch its self off after a period of time of being on... I am using windows XP, 2000+ athlon, 512DDR, 2 hard disks, and a RAID mother board. what is going wrong with my PC? I initially thought it could be a heat problem, but the bios says that it is only at 55C and I have even tried running it with the side of the case off. IUf anyone could offer any suggestgions as to why this keeps happening I would be very grateful.. Thanks very much |

I'm not too sure how to do this in XP, but under the Control Panel should be something called Power Options (that's what it's called under ME) - see if you have your computer to standby/hibernate/shutdown after a certain amount of time.

| 114224 | 2003-01-15 19:58:00 | Yes, I would say that's right. It may be going into "Hirbernation", where it stores everything that was in RAM onto a file on your HDD. It then loads up faster and you're right where you left off... Nothing to worry about :) Right-Click on your dekstop and select properties. Click on the ScreenSaver tab Down the bottom is Power Options or something similar, click that and have a mosey around in there :) Feel free to turn things on and off as you cant really hurt your PC :) Cheers Chilling_Silence |
