Hi all

As it says in the subject my pc isn't going into standy or hibernating after
the specified time.

Tried changing the options in power settings in control panel but still wont
activate. At the moment the only option that is working is the monitor going
onto standby but I want my pc to also go into hibernation mode after a period
of no use to save power. It did used to work but I cannot remember/didn't
notice when it stopped working.

Please help
