Sleep mode, won't wake up

[TheNiceGuy]

Hi all-
Thanks for all the help on this board! I have the setup in my sig. PC goes into sleep mode, with power still on, but won't respond, and I have to manualy cut the power.
Ideas?

This solution may be applicable. Apparently, in Vista64, there can be such an issue when in Device Manager, input device properties are not chaked for wake up under Power Management.

They are already checked. Any other ideas?

It's a long shot - but it worked for another person:

Go to Control Panel
System Maintenance
Power Options
Click on "Change Advanced Power Settings"
Expand +Sleep
Expand +Allow Hybrid Sleep
Change this to "OFF"

This problem has been around for a long time. I remember it back with Win85, and 98. It is the reason why I never use SLEEP at all for any component except the monitor. Even then, I prefer to just turn it off.
