Terry, Its a Gigabyte 7IXE4 m/board and 800 duron. Win98. I worked out the problem, no matter what i set the powermanagement settings on, (control panel/powermanagement) be it 5 hours or never (for everything) the damn thing would go on standby after 25 min. I deselected the "LoadPowerProfile" from the startup sequence and now it works. Thanks for the tips.   On a Weirder note, Does anybody know why my Aussie purchased Playstation 2 (from Harvey Norman) only plays region 2 DVD's. It makes life a little awkward. -Wayne   ----- Original Message ----- From: Terry Rudd To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 17, 2001 6:15 PM Subject: RE: off topic (SORRY) Wayne,   What sort of motherboard and processor What OS - W98, NT, W2K   Win98 is usually the problem child with APM.   The correct "Power Management Properties" settings for W98 are: (click on "Settings" button in Energy saving features of monitor area on screen saver window) Power schemes - Always on (trust me, not logical but it works with most Intel chipsets) System Standby -Never   regards Terry MSNE (in the daytime) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Wayne Sent: Sunday, 15 July 2001 11:24 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: off topic (SORRY) Listers,     I know this is off topic, but obviously you all know how to use computers to some degree, and i need some help. My computer keeps going into standby mode after 20 min or so even though the standby feature in windows powermanagement is disabled. Also the APM in bios is disabled. Does anyone know where to look because it is starting to shit me.     Thanks     -wayne     --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
