Is laptop fan working? Does the air come out of the cooling holes? It may need some thermal module cleaning - maintenance.

Not sure about the Standard Key issue, but I do know that many laptops (Toshibas for example) require extra software to standby properly.  Check the Laptop Vendor's website (not Microsoft on this one) and you should find system utilities that will make standby possible.

First thing : are you using a licenced version of the operating system ?. IF yes..\n\nThe computer must be waiting for some background process to get closed before shutting down. thats why it is taking time. \n\nThere must be some program which might be not responding at the time of shutdown and the pc has to wait for it \n\nThere may be other factors also.

1) check for ventilation problems; CPUs (the core of your PC system) tend to get a lot of heat.\n2) if you have recently added new hardware (supposing you use Windows) go to "My PC(Right Mouse Click)Properties|Hardware|Device Manager", look for the new device, select its properties (again right button click, then Properties) and Disable it (there's a button just for that).\n\nIf those didn't work, then repost your question but explain you have checked for CPU temperature and new devices.\n\nHave a nice day without computer hangs!

Make sure your virus protection is up to date, then scan for viruses. Install a spyware removal program and then remove all spyware. \n\nSometimes another program will make your computer freeze up, as they can conflict with other programs. Especially the ones downloaded from the Internet. Try removing any programs that you added around the time you noticed the "hang ups." After, use the hard disk clean up utility, and then defrag. restart your system and see if it continues.\n\nIf it continues, use the System Restore utility to roll it back to an earlier time when it did not freeze up, and then try it out. You may need to find a good restore point and that may take a couple of tries. It takes a few minutes to do, so do it when you get a chance.\n\nP.S. Your P3 should be fine. I have an old computer with a P2, true it's not near as fast as the P4, but it is fine if it works for you, I would not change it. I have found that most programs that say "must have P4" still run, but there are a few that will cause problems. And, note, one of the installed programs could be your problem, as I mentioned above.\n\nMy older computer uses Win2000, also.

XP W/ SP 2 IS ACTUALLY (man, that's annoying) quite stable.  With problems like that I'd try reinstalling Windows--this'll give you a fresh install and wipe out stuff running in the background.  If same thing happens with fresh install you probably have a hardware problem.

hang results from not enough ram or too many progs in the start up group...run regedit and folloe this tree...local machine, software, microsoft, windows, current version, run..also look at any key beginning with run...knock it all out by deleting the keys....then run msconfig and get rid of everything.  then go to control panel, admin tools, and select services...click on start up type andsee what is auto starting...start turning auto services off that seem worrisome to you...  reboot after each change...this should fix it

Hard reset.\nReformat the cpu and start over.\n(back up any documents you'd like).\n\nthat's the easiest, least ocmplicated way.

Unplug any or all of the USB devices and restart.  See if that helps.

call up tech support and tell them ur problem. i know some ppl who had HP laptops who had the same problem. they were told to download a patch which fixed the problem.\nbefore u do this, install some software that gives u ur system info. try belarc. search for it at www.download.com where u'll get it for free. if it sshows up as 1.25GHz, call up tech support or take ur PC back if u bought it from a store.

I have a laptop as well,,,, i think you should try installing it again and maybe that will help. Good luck

1- what was the last program you have installed before facing this problem, usually this is associated with installing programs not compatible with your operating system/system architicture\nso try to un-install share ware programs and old programs designed for win16 or win32\n\n2-  try not to boot up you machine while having USB devices connected to it, this might cause the system to hang\n\n3- back up your data and re-install windows from scratch, and take care not to delete any system files, also make sure to install a good anti viruse

I think you computer went into stand-by mode. To disable standby, Go to Start>Control Panel>Power Options.\n\nUnder Power Options properties, set power schemes to 'Always On'. You shouldn't have anymore problem after doing this.

Buggy RAM?  Was it all of a sudden?  Try running spyware tests.  Could be hidden programs task manager doesn't see.  You say you "sometimes" have the problem.  Any triggers that might set it off consistently?\n\nHave you considered reinstalling windows?  Might help.  Good luck.\n\n--An addition to Jerry's suggestion.  If the fan is kaput, the whole system will slow down.  I had a fan that was stuck from time to time.  Once I figured it out, my sys was back to normal.  Thank goodness I figured it out before the CPU fried.

Well, in that moment of peril, try using <CTRL> <ALT> <DELETE> to open task manager and end any processes that are showing "Not Responding". However, this may not always work, though it might help.\n\nIn the future to prevent this from happening, try the following things.\n1. Make sure your PC is not overheating, with more heat, the performance falls. If it is overheating, buy a cooling dock fan for around $30 dollars.\n2. Make sure you are not running to many "stealth" programs in the background. These programs take up RAM and CPU. To fix this problem, go to Run and type in "Msconfig" and go to last tab called Startup. Now uncheck everything that you reconize from past program installations except for your firewall.\n3. Make sure you don't run too many programs at the same time. This would increase your RAM and CPU usage and cause your PC to freeze much easily.

Try going to hibernate instead of standby by holding down the shift key and then pressing the hibernate button. My guess from experience is that your laptop is not configured correctly for standby mode and that hibernate would be your best bet. Good luck!
