vista freezing problem

[Ronaf]

Hi folks,

I got windows vista home SP1, when I do nothing in the computer for some
minutes it enters into power saving mode, then when I trie to do something
it seems to be dead, there is no image and the keyboard is dead. Some
minutes after, it reboots itself!!.
Any help will be very apreciated,

TIA

Hi there,

It looks like it takes some time for your computer to wake up from the sleep
mode. You can disable sleep mode in Control Panel->System and
Maintenance->Power Option and change the settings about when the computer
sleeps, or check the BIOS to see whether there are options for you to
disable sleep mode there.

Reads like hibernation instead of sleep.

Is this a laptop or desktop?

Have you checked the power settings?

1. Start -> Control Panel -> System & Maintenance -> Power Options
2. Notice currently selected plan then select 'Change Plan Settings'
