My computer keeps switching itself to standby on its own after 20-30 minutes. This is a problem as I do alot of DVD back ups so it ends up stopping the software I use meaning I cant do any back ups whatsoever.

I have checked in my power settings and everything is set to be always on, so have no idea why this is happining.

The computer is pretty much brand new from Dell so maybe it is some factory setting.

Anyway any help would be really appreciated as it is very annoying.

Thanks
Lee :waughh:

Go into your BIOS and turn it off from there as well.

Under the Power Options control panel, check the "Home/Office Desk" and change everything to "never" .

Optionally you can turn off the hibernate function also .
