    Not sure if anyone else here has had this issue, but for some reason my W3J seems to randomly leave standby mode when left alone. It cycles in and out of standby until it eventually hibernates (sometimes hibernation can take a while!). Any suggestions?

    I would really appreciate any help!!

    Check the power options in Control Panel. It may be set to standy when idle for x amount of time.

    The laptop is set to go into standby after 25 minutes, but this is not my problem. The problem is that it doesn't stay in standby, the laptop just seems to randomly wake up. Hibernation is set for 30 minutes, maybe there is a problem with going into hibernation (and the 25 minute cycle then repeats).
