    When I try to put my desktop into standby mode, it starts the process and gets to the blue screen when it says preparing to go into standby mode. But it won't actually go into standby. What is going on and how do I fix it?

    Some mainboards just cant handle stand by mode. You can updating drivers and bios but sometimes the hardware just doesnt work right.
