    Hi, I have been having this problem since I built my PC.
    When i chose for my Pc to go into standby it does go into standby, but when I shake my mouse for it to come out of stand by it doesn't work really

    My Computer itselfdoes come out of standby cause i can hear the fans increase in speed, But my Monitor does not come out of standby, the Screen Remains Black, this is my problem

    Im not sure if this is a Hardware or Software problem so i'll post it in both forums.

    Sometimes it's a problem with the HD's not wanting to restart, or some other weird things. Really all you can do is patch the computer and see if it helps. Standby often gives problems on desktop PC's. Of course I never worry about it much since there really isn't much use to standby on a desktop.

    Try this and set your display properties > screen saver > monitor power > power schemes

    Set power scheme setting for minimal power management and
    Turn off monitor - never
    Torn off hard disks - never
    System standby - never

    yeh, i've seen people having problems having their desktop going into standy mode, and/or hibernate (same problem as you). i don't really know why you'd have your desktop do that anyways, but to each, his/her own. - sos
