You should post your system specs as it would help.

I'm having sleep issue also only when in S3 tho. BSOD's on resume. I figure it's one of my drivers. Specs in my sig

still having the problem... anyone got a solution?

I reverted back vga and nic drivers, however, problem still exists...

I vaguely remember when i first installed win7, everything was fine... then i installed the amd chipset drivers on biostar website... could the drivers be the cause of this problem?

Did you ever get your sleep fix'd ?

I somehow got mine working.What happened is I wound up picking up a video card for another PC and it wouldn't boot it. I tested it in the system I was having sleep problems with and the bios set me up with hybrid sli which kinda took out Win7 after it was removed. I couldn't get the Windows rating thing to complete as it would freeze the system everytime I ran it. I deleted video drivers and tried to reinstall them but it didn't work still.

What I wound up doing was to do the show hidden devices thingy and removed all the ghost devices that showed up in device manager. Needless to say it fixed the video problems and also somehow fixed my sleep issues at the same time. So I'm thinking that one or more of the ghost devices I deleted was the problem.

YES :D I fixed it! called the tech support and it turns out the solution is
1. go into bios
2. enable "allow keyboard/mouse to power on computer"
