It would appear that sleep and hibernation prove to be a troublesome feature for many a user. Unfortunately, I'm also getting the impression that the problem tends to lie more with different hardware than it does with Vista itself. I'm running Vista Ultimate 32bit and when I first installed it on my system, sleep worked fine, no problems at all. Now however, when I try to enter sleep mode, the monitor will power off, I'll hear the hard drives powering down, it all sounds as though it's going swimmingly and then all of a sudden everything powers back up and I'm fully awake again. My PC is quite old now, the spec is: Intel P4C 3Ghz ASUS P4C800-E Deluxe Motherboard 2Gb Corsair RAM ASUS Radeon 9800XT Creative Labs Audigy 2 ZS I do have various other peripherals and I'm not sure what could be causing the problem. Is there a program which will test sleep mode and will test which, if any, items of hardware are causing a conflict?

| I wonder then if it's something I can fix in the BIOS. It's also very odd that it worked fine when I originally installed Vista. They really do need a diagnostic tool mind you, with so many hardware variations it's impossible to know if Sleep will work for you and if not, it's impossible to tell which piece of hardware may be causing the problem.

| The issue could be hardware related, but if it was working previously, I’ll suspect a piece of software instead. I have that same issue if I leave my email client, ‘Windows Live Mail Desktop’, running. I wrote to MS and they assured me that there’s no such issue reported concerning ‘Windows Live Mail Desktop’, but it works for me when I exit the application. Try this; Start > Type Performance and click Performance Information and Tools when it shows on the menu > Now see if there are any performance issues. If none is reported, then trying exiting one program at a time before putting your PC to Seep. You can also verify your BIOS Power Management is set correctly. I have not mess around with that for a long time but I know there are options. Check your motherboard documentation, though the instruction are usually vague. |

| Crikey, I had a look at the Computer's Performance Event Log and there's a lot of detailed info in there! The most recent error reads: Quote:
