For some reason, both Sleep and Hibernate, while still working, will take
themselves out of that mode every 10 to 30 minutes. It never did that
before. What happened and how do I fix?
This tutorial may help you determine what the problem is. I would check
your BIOS and Network card's "Wake Up" or ""Wake On" settings to make
sure they were disabled.

Thanks for the suggestions. I have been trying to fix this issue,
re-emphasizing the settings for the Sleep and Hibernate issue, but have yet
to find where I can actually change and/or correct what is causing my laptop
to start itself after an extended time from both Sleep and Hibernate. I have
no-doubt that there must be such as setting, but I haven't found it yet.
Obviously, there must have been something that internally changed this
setting, for it was working just fine before. The laptop would remain in
Sleep or Hibernate, until I took it out. Now, it does it itself for some
reason.
You did mention my BIOS and Network card's "Wake Up" or "Wake On" setting,
but just how do I get to theses so I can check?
Thanks again,
John

Considerably information can be had by running the powercfg program in a
command window.
For instance
powercfg -lastwake
will report why the computer was last woke up (LAN, keyboard etc).

The Step Five section in the tutorial will show you how to for the
network card, and Step Three will help with the BIOS. It will probably
be somewhere listed in your power management options in the BIOS. You
may have to look around a lttile bit for it since each BIOS is a littler
different per brand.

Again, thanks for all the help you are providing. So far, I've tried a few
of your suggestions, but don't know if they work yet, for I haven't had the
time to wait an hour or so to see if my computer once again takes itself out
of Sleep and/or Hibernate mode. I don't want to simply change all types of
things, especially not knowing what I'm really doing, for I'm afraid I might
make things worse.
I have purposely been staying away from changing anything to do with the
BIOS, for one, since I have know real idea what I'm doing, I don't want to
mess around with things I don't know about, unless I really have to. After
all, I have no idea want happened to cause this issue to begin with, and
obviously no real idea how to fix it. So, as I said, messing with my BIOS
will only be my next move, if what I have done so far doesn't work.
Likewise, I assume I would access my BIOS through something called 'System
Utilities' during the initial booting process. My other alternative is 'Boot
Menus.
So far, again thanks to your help, I know how to access three (3) different
applications that I think could or may be causing the problem. They are...
* Marvell Yukon 88E8039 PCF-E Fast Internet Controller
* Reatek RTL 8187B Wireless 802.1 b/g 54 mbps USB 2.0
* Toshiba Software Modem Properties
The check box for... "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save
power" was already checked, with both Marvell and Reatek, but not Toshiba,
which doesn't allow one to check or not check. The check box for... "Allow
this device to wake the computer" was not checked in both Marvell and
Reatek, but was in Toshiba. I unchecked that box in Toshiba, thinking that
may be the problem.
Likewise, I think it was in the Reatek application that allowed for... "Only
allow management station to wake the computer." It was not checked, and I
left it that way.
Hopefully, I am now on the right track, and not checking the Toshiba option
will take care of the problem.

Well, so much for that theory... it didn't work. After about 20-minutes, the
computer took itself out of Sleep mode. So, I guess it is back to the
drawing board. However, the did re-check the box that I had unchecked in the
Toshiba application, for that's the way I originally found it.

It may be nothing more than being told to wake up. This may not be step for
step but it's close enough to get to the bottom. Try control panel> device
manager>Network Adapters>pick appropriate one>properties>power management
tab>Under "wake on LAN" >Deselect boxes
