You can switch off the monitor by pushing the "off button" on the monitor. That will put it on "standby", but you cannot unplug it to turn it off all together.\n\nA computer needs a monitor, keyboard and mouse at all time in order to operate.

Try going into the Control Panel, and selecting Power Management.  There might be an option in there to change what the computer does when the "lid" is closed.

once desktop is displayed click on start and then run and type msconfig ->enter\n\nso to startup and then uncheck all the programs which u dont want at the start up or ones u think are just taking up RAM space and doing nothing..\n\nthis will work..trust me

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.

try CPU (processor) cooler there is an sensor under the cpu socket on the mainboard so when the cpu gets hot it turn`s off the pc and wont turn it back on until it gets cooled down,since you power it manualy

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.

Sounds like a program running n the background, go to start/run and type msconfig, when it opens look thru the list for that particular program and uncheck it, reboot.\ngood luck/

This could be a cooling issue, check your fans and dust out your system. I saw one system the other day that did this because of the massive amount of dust, even though the fans were still turning. \nAlso try starting the computer in safe mode and see if it works then or locks up without restarting. A bad XP install will cause this sort of action. Sometimes there is a bios option that tells the system to restart on error, you can turn this off to help diagnose the problem.

There could be a lot of reasons for this. It may be that you need to \nreinstall windows.or it could be that there is an issue with your power supply or your motherboard could be overheating.\nI would try reinstalling the operating system first and take it from there.

Your computer could have been heated too much.Try working on it after shutting down your pc for an hour or two.

For desktop pc better performance, I suggest you set your desktop background/wallpaper and screensaver to "none",   then go to control panel, system, advanced, performance, settings, check 'adjust for best performance'. and  right click on desktop, click properties, click 'appearance', choose ' windows classic style'.\n      Then Start/Control Panel/Display/display properties/screensaver/monitor power/power schemes/settings/turn off monitor after 10 minutes, and set the next 2 drop down boxes (  1.  Turn off Hard Disks,  and 2. System Standby) to "never"/apply/ok/ok.\n Then Start/Control Panel/system/advanced tab/performance/settings/'adjust for best performance/apply/ok/ok\n     Then Start/Control Panel/Display/display properties/screensaver/monitor power/hibernate/take check mark out of "Enable hibernation"/apply/ok/ok.\nIf I'm going to be away from the pc for more than an hour, then after shutting it down properly, I unplug it.\n\n\n      For security/safety purposes,  to make sure you are not getting a spoofed webpage, right-click desktop/properties/display properties/appeareance/color scheme/olive green/apply/ok/ok ,  or  go to Start/Control Panel/Display/display properties/appearence/color scheme/ eggplant or wheat/apply/ok/ok. \n  Then if you click onto a webpage, and it comes up in the MS default blue, then you will know you are on a fake/spoofed page, and you should close out immediatly, and run a scan for infections.       Right-click desktop/properties/display properties/appeareance/color scheme/eggplant or wheat/apply/ok/ok

It sounds like it is staying in Standby Mode.\nRight Click Desktop> Screen Saver> Power>   System Stanby and Hibernates to (NEVER).\n\nGo to to system Setup. Restart your system and press F2.\nand set power Management.\nHarry

Click on it and drag it down to the bottom. Once you've done this, right-click on it and choose "Lock the Taskbar" to keep it from happening again.
