Power Management Settings.
I've been quiet for a couple of weeks (thought you all deserved a rest)...but now have another question for you gurus.
I've discovered (on two different machines) that if I set power management timings to force my PC into a coma after 15 minutes (or so) of non-use....the hard drives and monitor go to sleep after 15 minutes - hey, what else could you expect?
To wake the slumbering heap of chips all I do is move the attached rodent and the machine springs to life again...until another 15 dormant minutes go by.
This holds true until I ask the start/shut down/shut down route to actually reduce my electricity bill.....then, after turning it on again - the machines seem to have lost the thread of the sleeping idea...and only go as far as screen save (then I have to watch hundreds of flying stars in the night sky).
This normal? or am I missing something (again, duh!!).
Oh, BTW, I've pressed 'Apply' and all the obvious stuff.
