Vista SP1 sleep mode problem.

[vdsl]

When Vista is started from fresh and i dont open any programs, then sleep mode works fine. But if i use my pc for few hours and i try to put it in sleep mode, well it cant wake up, i need to restart.
Someone have same problem and a solution ?

Btw i have Vista SP1 x64.

Update: Tnx JustaGeek , i think now its fixed , it was network card. Tnx very much.

1. Uncheck "Allow this device to wake the computer" for all the attached mice, keyboards, Joysticks and Network Adapters.

2. Ensure that +5VSB is enabled for all the USB and PS/2 ports on your motherboard.

You will be able to wake the computer with the Power Button.

Good luck!

Hmm, sadly enough this hasn't resolved this very problem for me 🙁 Also running Vista Ultimate SP1 x64. When I try wake up from sleep, the computer briefly turns on (the fans start spinning), then it shuts down, and it repeats this cycle indefinitely until I pull out the plug/shut off the PSU (Corsair HX520W)

How can i ensure the latter, that +5VSB is enabled? I had a look around in BIOS and couldn't find anything; maybe I missed something?

Any further advice?

If you are able to get the system to react at all (i.e., the PSU starts up when you hit a key or move the mouse), then your problem most likely has nothing to do with +5Vsb. The +5Vsb setting just ensures that your motherboard keeps power supplied to the external peripheral buses (USB, PS2) so that your mouse and keyboard can detect user input while the system is asleep, and perform the wake signaling. They need power in order to signal the PC to wake up. But if your system reacts when you use one of your peripherals, then they have power, and this is a red herring.

Your case sounds more like either a BIOS problem or (maybe) a PSU problem. Your Gigabyte board has a Windows logo, which means that it has at some point (with some BIOS revision and PSU) passed the Microsoft "Sleep Stress" test, which puts the system into S3 and resumes it hundreds of times. So we know that the board is capable of S3 resume.

You might try asking around in the mobo forums to see if anyone else has your mobo/PSU combo and see if they can get S3 to work properly. If so, ask what BIOS revision they have and what settings they are using.

If you're really feeling adventurous, you could try out a different PSU if one is available, although I think this is probably an unlikely culprit.
