Sounds like a prank I would pull on someone- put a sleep command in the Run registry key loaded at startup. | | My System Specs | | OS XP / Win7 x64 Pro

I might not be able to do anything before it sleeps but I can once I rewaken it.
But obviously I've tried all the power settings including restoring to default already. It isn't that.
Anyway, since I last posted I used msconfig to laboriously narrow it down to a single service: Windows Event Log. If I disable this from starting the problem goes away. But I want event logs so only a partial success. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Homemade

FliGi7 maybe on to something. Has anyone besides yourself used the machine?
Or the Windows Event Log may be corrupted. A repair install may be in order. There is a tutorial on this forum that will tell you how. If you do, backup your data. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number ATX Custom Build 2012

Nobody else uses the machine.
Looking at the dependencies for that service I see Task Scheduler, Event Collector and Norton Ghost are dependent. So I guess it's possible it is one of those rather than the event log service. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Homemade
