I have run into this strange problem a few times. Many times it is spyware, while other times it is a setting in the bios. I have since run into this problem once again, but this time my normal solutions do nothing to resolve this problems. Does anyone have any clues? OS win98 machine goes into sleep mode but does not wake up.

Thanks Mike

Recently I had this problem with an old system. There was a problem with de HDD (I replace it). This computer is an IBM computer and I find specific tests on IBM site for this model. I recomend you to find a HDD test program on manufacturer site (test which can be run from a diskette boot).
Other posibility can be your VGA driver. Try to replace with a new version and depends by your OS apply the last service pack.

I have had this problem many times. Go into the Control Panel, Power Management, set Turn off hard disks: to never.
