Sleep mode disabled

I have been unable to pinpoint the reason why sleep mode is unavailable for my windows vista home premium x86. In the command line, I typed "powercfg -a" and both S1, S2, and S3 were listed as unavailable. I know my motherboard, an ASUS P5G41-M LX2 supports the feature, but I can't get it to work. Windows is updated, and the power options for allowing sleep when sharing media is enabled. I Don't know what to do.

other things to consider: I recently put in this motherboard as a replacement for the previous one which fried. As such, I had to purchase a new power supply as well. Is it possible the power supply doesn't support sleep mode?

Thanks for the help,
Will

The motherboard tells the PSU what to do so, no, the PSU is not responsible.

Open the Start Menu and in the "Begin Search" text box type "performance." You see "Performance Information and Tools" Control Panel app. Open it. If Vista detect any software that interferes with Sleep, it shows an alert here or in "Problem Reports and Solutions" in the lower left.

Update your motherboard drivers. Or, roll them back.
