Preventing Standby

Previously, my machine would go into standby at the preset time. But
now, sometimes it does not. The PC also does not turn off the screen
at the preset time.

I wonder what would prevent the machine from going to standby ? What
would reset the timer so that it does not kick off the standby mode.
Hard disk access ? Lan Activities ? Keyboard activities ? Mouse
activities ? CPU utilisation ?

Thanks for any advice !

Yes, any of the listed items could be the cause. What have you changed
between the time it worked and now that it doesn't?
 
Sorry, I've been double posting lately. Don't know why I'm not able
to see them until later.

Anyway, I think my PC is busier but those activities does stop writing
to HDD in the middle of the night. So I don't know why it does not go
to standby.

Would lan activity cause it to stop going into standby ? Assuming it
does not write to disk. Are there any tools that I can use to record
what is stopping it to go into standby ? Would be good to have one !
