Entering Sleep mode !! Please Help Me Out !!
Hi, im using dell optiplex GX270, 2600 MHZ, 1gb ddram, 160 GB and 256 MB video graphic. My com work completely ok before. Since i changed the old graphic card (128 nvidia) to Ati radeon 9600 Pro, from the beginning it works fine. But now, the problem occur. I get the message "Entering Sleep Mode" while working on computer. The whole screen went dark, i couldnt Alt + tab or do anything except hearing the Cd-skipping. Even more if i shut down my computer for a couple of hours. It gets me crazy to make it to window. "Entering Sleep Mode" while booting also. I tried to replace the Ati 256 with my old one, but it still couldnt help. Anyone knows what happen please show me how to fix it. Or else at least gimme a clue..Thank you very much !

Standby (sleep mode?) and hibernate should not be used on desktop PC's. It was designed for laptops to conserve battery power. Standby is known to cause many varied problems on desktops.
The general concensus is to only "power off" the monitor (display) and hard drives at whatever time interval you select - nothing else. You can change that by Right click a blank area on the desktop (screen) then Left click Properties. Click the Screensaver tab and then click the Power button.
