hibernate the comes back on automatically in 5 minutes goes back into
hibernate then comes back on again. Then goes back into hibernate for

Are you putting it in standby mode, or into hibernate? If it is
hibernate mode, you may have a hardware issue. What kind of computer
do you have?

Is this computer on a Local Network?

Check the wake-on-lan settings for your network card. There might also
be a setting for it and other power save features in the BIOS.

this may also be a rtc wake up problem. some pcs are able to switch
themselves on at a specified time. when xp goes into hibernate, it
switches the pc completly off. Can you switch off your pc correctly?
