Computer won't go on standby

This may not be any help but, the motherboard has to support the stand-by mode.
Also you have to open your case and make sure if it does go into stand-by, that the cpu fan does not stop..

Open the Control Panel and double-click the display icon
To switch monitor to standby,make sure the Low-Power Standby box is checked
To turn off your monitor after a specified time make sure the Shut Off Monitor box is checked
In minutes box specify how many minutes
If no energy saving settings are visible,check to make sure your monitor and your video card or system BIOS support Advanced Power Management
If supported power management features but no energy-saving settings appear,click theSetings tab,and then click Change Display Type.Make sure the Monitor Is Energy Star Compliant box is checked

Have you checked up your CMOS - advance power management settings in BIOS. I hope changing them will work.

If you are using win98se - the standby mode is highly unreliable - it won't come out of it.
I do phone tech support and get calls about this all the time - your best bety is to just disable it and not use it.
If you are not going to be using the system for an extended period of time - just shut it down.

Hope this helps!
