Automatic stand-by

[Mhaxx]

Why my Vista HP automatically goes to stand-by mode after some minutes when
defrag process or download.. are performing? Isn't it a little bit strange?

I know you can set the stand-by timeout (i.e. 15 minutes), the hybernation
timeout (i.e. 30 minutes) and so on but with my XP if defrag is in progress
no stand-by is executed! And this is okay..

Any idea?!

have you checked to see if the Pc's bios has settings related to pwr

management?

Sure and settings say after a certain time stand-by is automatically
performed. I know, it's right but what I can' understand is why Vista
considers my PC without activity even if it's downloading something from the
web.. and for this it decides to perform stand-by.
