I am trying to diagnose why a computer will not go into Standby mode.

If i set the time for stanby to a couple of minutes, it will quite happily
go into standby, and then awake without any problems. However, if I make
the
time for Standby 30 minutes, it never goes into Standby.

I've tried simply re-booting the computer and leaving it sitting at the
login screen, but even from here without any user logged on, it will only
go
into Standby mode if the time is short.

Any ideas on how to diagnose where the problem is would be greatly
appreciated

Cheers
Tom

Something is running in less than 30 minutes which prevents it from reaching
that time.
