i am currently trying out windows 7 RC1 on my system with 4 gigs of ram, e7400, p5q-e motherboard. for some reason, the computer wakes up a few seconds after i put it to sleep. any idea where i should check for settings. i know it might be wake on lan but i am not sure where to check for that setting. any other settings i should check?

its in power settings under advance or something like that.

I had/have this problem depending on what boot loader im using... do you have dual boot with anything?

Power options > edit plan settings > advanced

I had that problem a while back (different OS) and I *think* it was Logitech MouseWare that was waking the computer.

If I remember correctly, even though I had 'mouse wakeup' (or whatever it's called) turned off - Logitech MouseWare was probing the hardware, every few seconds - causing the computer to wake up.

LoL!

I could be totally wrong about this, but that's the way I remember it.

Anyway, it might be something unexpected like that...

Here's a couple of good things to look for:
Media Sharing Config

This describes how to see if media sharing is preventing sleep.

This one gives you the commands to see what exactly woke up your computer the last time or what can wake your computer. I ran the 2nd command example given on my thinkpad, all it returned was the modem but I know plugging/unplugging a USB device such as a flash drive as well as moving an external usb mouse will wake up the laptop as well.
