xp pc going to standby randomly

My windows xp sp3 is going to standby mode randomly .
Here are some interesting things i have observed:
1.it is able to go to standy during the start of the pc session .
2. at other times, it does not respond to standby command mostly.
things i have tried :
1. scanned the pc for viruses and spywares .
2. created a shortcut fot standby on desktop
(shortcut link:"%windir%\System32\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState)
3. ran system file checker
3. tried replacing the powrprof.dll file by downloaing it from the net
(interestingly that downloaded dll file is of size 14 kb ; but when
I try to substitute the old one with that; it revets back to the old file size of 17 kb)
I have a feeling that there is some malware or svc which is causing the issue;but am not : able to pin point the exact cause. 4-dontkno
Any suggestione wud be welcomed ;
thanx

I have found the resolution . Actuall my Bitlord bit torrent application had a setting , not to let the pc be in suspended mode while it was running.Once I modified the option,
I am able to go to 'standby' mode normally now.
(Guess things are not complex as we sometimes comprehend) !
