Notebook will not enter standby automatically

Hi, I think your laptop stayed in standby mod only for 30 minutes,after
hibernation takes over. Disable or put hibernation for longer time. You can
also set it for an option ("When I close the lid"-Standby) in setup action of
power saver,and the monitor should not be turned off faster then HDD.
