built a computer and here is the basic specs ....
Intel ® Pentium ® Dual CPU
E2200 @ 2.20GHz
2GB DDR2 Ram
Motherboard is an ABIT every thing is onboard i.e graphics / sound ect 
Question I had to change the PSU as the tower unit I purchased the PSU wasnt good enough ... now this is in my bedroom and I cant leave my machine on cause the PSU just humms all nite 
(no funny comments plz) any ideas on how to stop this humming (no Im not throwing a blanket over it)
turn it off
My code does NOT have bugs. It just develops random features.
over time you get used to it..

I'm with Ozzy. turn it off or do what I do - put it to sleep. That way it takes a few seconds to resume what you were doing.
I don't get paid to know the answer, therefore I'm far more likely to give you a straight and honest answer.
what reason did he give you for not using sleep?

his explanation which was brief and to the point as he ran pass me in the corridor was becareful when using standby / sleep as its not hibernate ? now im trying to pick the bones out of this answer and remember what tutors are like there alway busy when you want a proper explanation ... so next time I see him im going to give him tg007 link and tell him I can learn more from the members there than I can here (college)

Yep, sleep is "standby". S3 sleep works as you've seen. Earlier versions of sleep just put your PC in a low-power mode and "turn off" your monitor, without looking like your PC's actually off. The disbenefit is that if your PC looses power whilst on standby it will loose your session. This doesn't apply to hibernate, which takes longer to resume your session.
