In that case it sounds like your Power Savings Mode on the computer may not
be fully compatible with Vista at this time.

You may have to change your power savings mode to ACPI or a ACPI-compliant
mode. Its also possible you have (or the machine builder) defined a
different G state than Vista would typically use in Sleep state (its USUALLY
S1 or S2).

All of this is accessible or SHOULD be accessible in your system's machine
BIOS configuration.
