•Problem: The computer does not return from sleep (standby) mode, or the sleep (standby) indicator stays on and the computer does not work.

•Problem: Your computer does not enter sleep (standby) or hibernation mode.

Solution: Check whether any option has been selected to disable your computer from entering sleep (standby) or hibernation mode.
