[akline]

wow I think that did it! my screen turns to low power mode the the led turns orange, the computers light blinks instead of a constant beam. one last thing, I'm running ati tray tools, and i have a radeon 1800xt video card. Is there a way to make it shut off it's fans when i go to standby, because the fans are still going when it goes to standby. Thanks alot!

Hello

Ok good. Well the ati thingy, are you using the latest drivers? If not, installing the latest drivers could help --> http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html

I updated the drivers as well as catalyst Control Center, the fan is still on during standby. Ati Tray Tool is a third party tool, but it's really professional and i love using it and I wouldn't want to use anything else. Any ideas that would fix this without me having to not use ati tray tools?

Hmm I think it would best for you to visit this forum (the support forum for ATI Tray Tools) -> http://forums.guru3d.com/forumdisplay.php?f=53

They'll propably know & give you the answer (as this really isn't a malware issue)
