Vista 64 sleep mode

I have both Vista 64 Home Premium and Vista 64 Ultimate )on two exactly the same Asus computers. After I have put the computers into the sleep mode they immediately restart.
Any ideas how to resolve this problem?

Jan,

This tutorial covers most issues with sleep related problems. Here's the link: Power Options and Sleep Mode Problems

If this doesn't help you, please let me know. I had the exact same problem and can offer you more specific advice if needed.

Re: Vista 64 sleep mode

Joe,
My sleep mode is still not working. I have followed, as required, all the 10 steps in the Vista Forums-Power Options and Sleep Mode Problems. Now, after clicking on the Sleep in the Start menu the computer immediately returns into the Windows main screen.
I have to admit I have spent a lot of time trying on my own to resolve the problem.

Now, I need to ask you for additional directions how to resolve it.
Below, I am attaching the output from the powercfg commands I have run:


Microsoft Windows [Version 6.0.6001]
Copyright (c) 2006 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
C:\Users\janbog>powercfg -list
Existing Power Schemes (* Active)
Power Scheme GUID: 381b4222-f694-41f0-9685-ff5bb260df2e (Balanced)
Power Scheme GUID: 7bd666c6-7cd9-4fb5-85fc-c48e755184d0 (My Custom Plan 1) *
Power Scheme GUID: 8c5e7fda-e8bf-4a96-9a85-a6e23a8c635c (High performance)
Power Scheme GUID: a1841308-3541-4fab-bc81-f71556f20b4a (Power saver)
C:\Users\janbog>powercfg -devicequery wake_armed
C:\Users\janbog>
C:\Users\janbog>powercfg -a
The following sleep states are available on this system: Standby ( S1 S3 ) Hiber
nate Hybrid Sleep
The following sleep states are not available on this system:
Standby (S2)
The system firmware does not support this standby state.



Below, I am attaching a short resume of the ten steps:
Step 1 No wireless keyboard or mouse
Step 2 All the settings in accordance with the Step 2 directions. Sleep mode on. Hibernate off.
Display off= Hard disk off= 5 min, Computer off =10 min.
Step 3 BIOS set as above.
Step 4 No devices configured to wake up the system.
Step 5 No devices configured to wake up the system.
Step 6 No Screen Saver
Step 7 The Sleep Mode did not work after I unchecked the Load Startup items.
Step 8 No programs allowed to Wake-p the computer
Step 9 Windows Sidebar off
Ste 10 The Sleep mode never worked so I only ran as administrator the command: powercfg –h on.

Jan,

One of the fixes for my system was to change settings in the BIOS. Consult your system documentation on making changes to your BIOS. There may be a setting in there, something to the effect of "wake on lan". If there is, disable it, save, and restart your PC. Warning: Making changes to your BIOS if not done correctly and render a computer useless, use caution when accessing and/or changing BIOS settings.

I hope this helps.
