Computer refuses to stand by

I have a laptop computer with WinXP home that refuses to stand by, or
rather, refuses to stay in that state. It will go into standby, but won't
even stay there for a minute before it wakes itself up without any action on
my part. I'd love to say it's telekinesis, but I think it's that my
computer is a piece of junk. How can I get this thing to stay in stand by
mode?
