ApprenticeIts not the power supply, not the hard drive, etc. It is a defect in the motherboard with this mode. Called Gateway support to find this out. Replacing motherboard is solution.
A way around fixing comp is to unplug the power supply cord at the tower, then hold down on the start button for 20 seconds, replace power supply cord, then turn it on as usual.
I discovered that leaving our Sims Online game running keeps the comp from going into standby. So I just leave comp on with game running when I am finished with the comp.
Gonna get a new comp. And it will not be a Gateway..... Hope this helps anyone reading this. I nearly had a cow trying to use my comp.....lol

Wizdo you still have your restore CD? try to fresh restore it and updates everything on that unit again. Often online gamers send you malicious script that crashes your system.

Take the hard drive out and put it in a working computer as a slave and run a virus check on it. Make sure the working computer has up to date antivirus and spyware programs running on it. You should find something and the working computer will clean the drive out for you. You can also defrag it with the working computer.
