When I put my computer in standby mode it crashes about a minute after starting it back up. Any suggestions how to fix?

I do not run much on the computer. Norton AV runs. Spybot and Adaware every now and then. I shut down a lot of background stuff, eliminated many recent add on programs.

I've searched stores for a replacement computer just for this issue, but what is available does not get my much more in terms of memory or processor without spending a lot of money. I hate to just leave it running and am impatient with cold startup.

I've thought of system restore, but a new computer might be easier.

Thank you.

Can you back up everything and do a fresh install of the OS ?

What OS do you have, and specs on the computer ?

Thanks for the power supply management stuff, I was a little familiar with it but did not know I could shut down the hard drive...will do that.

By back up everything, I assume you mean put all my stuff on the could or a disk, then do system restore? I have never rebooted an OS...how do I do it?

Toms hardware link makes it seem like this is a known issue with a "SSD", what is that?

How do you benefit from using Standby? I'm with a previous respondent who says shut it off.

Not sure what brand pc you have, but there may be a partition with the OS on it.
