Hi all

Is anyone else encountering the problem below?

I am running Vista RTM - whenever I try to use 'Sleep' or 'Hibernate', the
PC seems to enter low power / power down, but then resumes / powers up
immediately.

Obviously I can live with this little issue, but it niggles me that the
sleep button on my keyboard is effectively useless!

drivers have to support S3/hibernate mode. else you will encounter
issues like this, if they let you enter S3/hibernation at all.
are you using beta drivers for any hardware?

also, are there any unknown devices/troubled hardware in device manager?

Check in Power Options, Advanced and under Multimedia make sure the computer
is allowed to sleep or hibernate... Otherwise it enters "away mode" which
sounds a a little bit like you're describing.

Hi Tim

Thanks for the quick reply.

I should have said - my motherboard is an Asus P4P800-E Deluxe. The only
unknown device is my Lexmark (bah!) printer, but my Intel and Promise SATA
drivers are from XP...

I can maybe understand sleep not working properly due the above drivers, but
doesn't hibernate power down the system?

Cheers
Dave

I'll give this a try and report back to the group.

Hello, I too also have a problem with hibernate, I have an ASUS M2N-E
motherboard and am Running Vista Business RTM.

What happens is when i choose to hibernate my pc doesn't power down, it
appears to reboot and when it comes back up i get a message telling me
windows was not shut down properly then if i choose start windows normally it
boots into windows fine, this happens when i try to sleep to.

When i first installed vista there was a bad ACPI driver in the device
manager, I tried updating this driver from mcrosoft and it appeared to work
and the unrecognized item went away, I suspect my problems have something to
do with this, can anyone tell me how i can get drivers for my
chipset/motherboard that will work in vista? will the XP drivers work?
