My PC shots down on me 1

[Ladyazh]

Can somebody help me?
I have HP Slimline PC at home and all of a sudden my daughter said something Stand By mode but she can't elaborate.
What is happening - PC is shutting down while I am working.
Light is still on, monitor black.

I can turn it off manually and start it and work as nothing happened again intil it shots down on me again.

What is going on do you know?

Nothing is happening except it shuts down. But if it gets back on...

Your power options must be set to go to standby after a certain amount of time. See

for an explaination and screen shots of the windows you will need to go to, to change the settings.
