sleep and won't wake up

My vista computer goes into sleep mode and will not wake up. I can type on
keys or use mouse but nothing happens, I have to end up pushing the button to
restart the computer.

Any ideas???

Re: sleep and won't wake up

Are your Sleep plans setup properly? My power plan is set to balanced, so on
Battery power it turns the display off after 5 mins, when plugged in after
20 mins.

The computer is put to sleep after 15 mins and 45 mins when plugged in.

I would also check to make sure your battery is fully charged.

I have the same problem. But it's not on a laptop.

Don't worry about it. It's broke. Microsoft confirmed it. Do a Google on
Vista sleep problems with no video on wake up and you will see your not
alone. Bad thing about this Major Bug is SP-1 has yet to address the
problem. Yeah, I know It's still beta. yada yada. Not looking good for the
SP-1 yet.

Re: sleep and won't wake up

My laptop running Vista x64 sleeps and wakes with no problems, its also very
instant too, just press power button and all I need to do is type in my
password and I'm back to what I was doing.

Congrats. Again, Mine is not a Laptop! and not running 64bit. But do a
search and you will see I'm not alone with this problem.

Re: sleep and won't wake up

I am running Home Premium 32bit on 5yo desktop, and it is fine.
Left it at defaults, 10minutes + 10 minutes, and it wakes with a mouse move
or keystroke.
