You might have spyware or adware.  You can download free software to get rid of that.

I had this problem before, I fixed it by reseting the bios to it's defaults, unfortunately I never did find out exactly what bios setting was causing it though. You can take a look under the "power management" section of your bios and see if you can find it, or just do like I did and reset it to defaults.

Try starting it in safe mode (hit F8 while it is booting).  If it starts in safe mode and does not freeze then you obviously have a software problem.  Try using mscong to stop a few things in your start-up, beginning with your anti-virus program.  Keep track of what you turned off and back on and you will eventually hit the problem program.

if what you want is to do is, to download music, videos or whatever at nite and go to sleep without stay awake waiting, like I do, just set your power saving settings to the appropiate value: "system standby: never", "hard disk power off: never" "screen power off: 5 minutes" (or whatever you want), keep the laptop connected to an AC outlet and that is it.\n\non the other hand, if what you want is download things at school while in class for example, well, that is more difficult, because some laptops allow you to stay on while closed, but most just send you to standby as soon as you close it and NO, you cannot stay connected while the computer is on standby, not a laptop not a desktop (unless you use a "wake-on-lan" NICon such desktop, but normally that is used when that pc is to be used as a file-server)

Your BIOS Power Management settings could need to be adjusted.  In your case, the Operating System is trying to tell your hardware to return from sleep mode, however your hardware is not responding.  Check to make sure either Advanced Power Management or ACPI is installed and working and does not have any conflicts showing in Device Manager.

just restart it.  always works.  take off the sleep function.  it's unnecessary.

go into bios setup...look at the setting for waking up and make sure they are not selected, otherwise someone can turn on your computer just by sending it a fax signal.

Either press space/return/escape or press the "Wake " button on your keyboard, if not you'll have to restart it by holding the power switch in.

check your monitor power options makes sure that hibernation is disabled and also check the power schemes settings and adjust accordingly.

Standby is handled theough your windows >DISPLAY settings,\nwhich is atually the best way to go - then you simply move you mouse to wake up your computer.\n\nwake-up is handled through your BIOS settings.

Random reboots/crashes/freezes could be due to several reasons,  including RAM, hardware issues, etc., but rather than waste everyone's time playing "20 question" type guessing games, just do the following and post back with the info so that we can narrow it down some.\n\nGo to control panel/ system / advanced Tab/ startup and recovery box/ settings button/ sytem failure  and uncheck  "restart on system failure" ( take the check out of automatically restart box )   ,   and check the Write a system event, and the Admin alert boxes (check "send admin alert").     This will force a BSOD on the next crash (freezes/restarts =  crashing) that posts the Stop Error Code.     On the next crash write down the exact Stop Error Code and post that exact error  here back on this thread.  \n Also go to your device manager (devmgmt.msc) and check the properties  and look for anything suspicious and check that the settings are where they should be.  \n      \n  Check\n\n1.  Overheating(Open the case and check to see how much dust has collected inside it, and  if there is alot of dust get a can of compressed air and blow the dust out and clean out all dust bunnies, etc. on the heatsink/;fan combo,etc.; and be sure all the fans are spinning and properly functioning )  \n\n2.   Poor power supply   (weak power supply or noisey / dirty electricity) \n\n3.  Bad driver or drivers not updated,  or a device conflict.   Pull the connectors and push them back on. Reseat all of the cards. RightClick - my comp/properties/select the hardware tab/click device manager/see if there are any "!" next to anything.   Try updating the drivers from the manufacturers' websites.\n\n\n4.    Not enough memory or bad Ram.   Missmatched ram or a bad stick of ram  will cause this also.       (Run Memtest86: = http://www.memtest.org and  \n  FREE RAM Diagnostic Tool. -  CST Inc.s DOS based DocMemory  =  http://bucarotechelp.com/computers/default.asp )   .\nYou might need to add more Ram.\n\n5.   Could be  IRQ conflict  \n\n6.  Perhaps the CMOS battery on the motherboard is going bad and needs to be  replaced. Check it to be sure.\nAlso check your pc clock's time and day, to be sure it is set correctly. \n\n7.   Hard drive could be failing.       \n\n8    Right click desktop/properties/screen saver/Power/Hibernate tab ,and make sure  hibernation is not enabled, and cleann out your   Cache & Cookies & Temporary Internet Files and Folder: = http://www.coloarts.state.co.us/cleanFiles.asp\n\n9.   Make sure you have updated all programs and hadrdware.\n\n10.   Motheboard short (loose screw, misplaced mounting standoff ,  etc.) ?\n\n (Note: Will it boot into   Safe Mode?  Hit F8 or F5  right after the BIOS screen to get boot options.  Does it also happen in safe mode?)

your pc may be having a problem with 'standby' or 'hybernation' mode.  Just power-off the PC.  If this problem reoccurs, then you can dis-able standby and/or hybernation mode.\n\nthe control is located in start---control panel--power settings.

have you tried clicking on start on your computer and when you see the option of turning off your computer there is another button which says standby,try clicking on this button which should put your computer into hibernation for the times you have specified,your computer will restart again after the hibernation time has elapsed,at the point where you were last working up to.I hope this helps.

Check your start up programs.\nSTART > RUN > type MSCONFIG > STARTUP uncheck things you really do not started at Boot up.
