It could be a ton of things.  Try these first:\n\nPop the battery out and plug in directly to the wall.  If it powers on, you have battery problems.  If not, jiggle the power cord in the back of the computer and keep pressing the power button.  If no luck, try doing the same while jiggling the cord to the wall or to the power brick.  You either have a bad motherboard or a bad power adapter.  Try another adapter if you can.  Is it on warranty? \n\nI just sent my laptop out yesterday with exactly the same problem...and it's either a fried motherboard or bad power adapter.

Try opening the time/date,,while you've got it open tap the space bar a few times..If this don't help then your CMOS battery is going bad.

Sure! Make sure any scheduled tasks use the advanced mode to bring system out of standby.\nSTART, ALL Programs, Accessories,System Tools,Scheduled Tasks - then choose:\nProperties, Settings, Wake the Computer to run this Task

Go to your desktop, right click and hit properties, Go to the screen saver tab and choose monitor power. Change options to keep the HDD on and no standby or hibernation. See if that "cures" the problem.

Unplug the power cord from the back of the PC, leave it unplugged for 30 seconds.  Plug it back in and turn on the PC, then turn off power save and hibernate.\n\nGood luck HTH!

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.

normally if you have a yellow led, as the monitor says it's in standby mode.\n\nIf you have just turned your computer on and the monitor does not change from the standby mode then check:\n\n1) Your vga cable from your monitor is firmly in the back of the pc.\n\n2) Try your monitor on a different computer - see if you get the same results.\n\n2) Try installing a new video card on your computer. Do this only if 1 or 2 does not work.\n\nA lot of the time the reason the monitor does not turn on is because usually the motherboard has died or the graphic card has died.

There is a device that is bringing your computer out of stand-bye.  It could possibly be your Wireless or NIC card.  Go into device manager, check each of your devices and see which ones are set to wake the computer from stand-bye.  Uncheck them and everything should be fine.

Listen to me!!!  Your computer is very pissed off at you.  When you ignore it for 5 hours, it'll ignore you in return - very much like a woman ;)  I would seek the advice of a professional counsoler.  It wouldn't hurt to buy it/her a new light or fan.  Chocolates and flowers won't cut it.\n\nOK, seriously.  Everyone else is right.  Your computer is going into a power save mode.  You can adjust these settings in "Control Panel -> Power Options".  Just change the first pull down to "Always On".  You can still enter hibernation - click "Turn Off Computer", hold down shift, and click "Stand By".\n\nIf the problem still persists, then look into lights and fans.  Saying I love you once in a while doesn't hurt either.

While you put your pc on a standby the operating system tries to deactivate various hardware devices such as your lan card or your video card, in order to save electricity. When you wake your computer from a standby, if the operating system fails to restore communication with the deactivated hardware (purely due to inability of the hardware to wake up from a standby) then the entire system enters an endless loop of trying to communicate with the hardware but without response. hence the entire system restarts. In order to solve the problem, update your drivers to all your hardware devices. OR in you device manager, if there is an option disable switching off the hardware during a standby. Hope this helps.

#1 - you need to be more specific about what you are trying to do and when, since your problem could come from a hundred different causes, BUT\n#2 - try turning your computer OFF, leave it off for 20 seconds, and turn it back on. Is the problem still there?

Details please!  Dial up?  DSL? Cable?  Router?  Do you turn anything off at night?  What is it that you restart with the task manager?
