Computer goes into standby monde

[blegit1980]

Hi, I seem to be having an issue with computers going into standby mode. I login to the local admin account on one of these computers. The monitor is set to never turn off, same thing for the hardrives and the same for the standby option. These computers are in a domain. If I close the administrator session and wait a certain period of time, the computer will go in standby mode. The power button will begin to flash and the users have to press this button to wake up the computer... I looked in the bios to see if there were any options related to this and found nothing. Any suggestions??

Right-click the Desktop and select 'Properties' from the context menu. Select the 'Screen Saver' tab. Is the option "On resume, password protect" checked off? If so, then uncheck this option and select 'OK'.

Several of forums such as the ones below show that unchecking this option has proven to resolve this issue, even when all of the power options have been set not to enter standby.
