Go to the display settings. (Right click on your desktop and select Properties)

Go to the screen saver section.

Click on Power.

or enable it in your BIOS

go into your BIOS and find power management or savings or something to do with power and enable it there

question: i know where is should be.. but the setting aint there..
sascooby: i'll have a look around the bios now..

thanks

Never heard of a MB having the option of hibernating/standby/shutdown/reseting your computer when the power button is pressed if this is what the OP was referring to.

i had a look around the power settings int he bios but i couldnt see anything.. i cahnged a few things but it made no differance.

brandy: thats what i wana see. but this is what i got.

Go to the Hibernate tab and make sure "Enable Hibernate" is checked.

Also, open system properties (Shortcut to get there is windows key+pause/break), then go to Hardware, and device manager. Then open up system devices and take a screen shot of those.

Most PCs built in the last 5 years have this.

make sure you have the chipset driver installed for your motherboard.
