Computer Q&A Board / Windows / XP-won't wake up

Posted by: billrobb, August 16th, 2007, 3:47am

When I put the computer to sleep it won't turn on either by moving the mouse or touching one or more keys. This is a new phenomena.I have to shut it down and revive it by booting up. thanks, bill

Wake up options for hardware are normally set in the BIOS.
Check there and see if they are set correctly.
If they are, some program running in the background may be trying to prevent sleep mode and causing this problem.
