"Preparing to Standby"

[nuretronics]

Is there any way to get standby to work without it constanty freezing up and having me to shut down my computer. I took away battery support but that is for notebooks which shouldn't have an effect on a PC should it? Basically when I click on standby all that happens is I get the Preparing to Standby textbox and it just stays that way for hours and does nothing. I can move the text box with my mouse thats it. Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this?
