Can somebody help me, please !

I can't reawaken my machine from Standby.

The mouse nor keyboard would reawaken my machine so I
pressed the power switch (twice), to bring my machine back
to life. The machine appears to restart but...

There's an immediate single beep.
The keyboard lights flash and the Num Lock comes on and
stays on.
Nothing else seems to work.
The USB mouse has no red lights,
The screen is in standby- denoted by the amber light

I tried inserting a music CD (well I don't know what else
to try), but nothing happens.

I searched with Google but all solutions I have seen refer
to something I should set, or do, WHEN the machine starts
up which it won't do.

HELP me please !!
