Monitor sleeps, computer doesn't -> Help :O
Well I've come across a problem. For some reason, when I go to Start > Sleep, my monitor enters a stand-by sleep mode, but my computer won't. Since the monitor has its power off and I can't see anything, and the computer is still on, I have to manually shut down by holding the power button down. It doesn't sound like the computer is really doing any work, but it just won't go into sleep, and I don't know why. It was fine last week.
Thanks for any help
Also: When I boot up the next morning (having manually powered down the night before) I have to boot in safe mode before I can restart and boot normally. If I boot normally, it stays a little bit longer than normal at Please Wait... before it gives me a password field, and then it won't go past the next screen (I forget what it says...windows is loading maybe).
