System is shutting down (going into sleep mode) to save itself wear and tear.
Hard drive I am sure is shutting off too which explains why a few seconds to
get going again. Probably a BIOS setting. Probably set at one hour. TR stops
timing when computer is asleep. PC clock still running on its own but TR can't
get the info when it is not running.
