Vista - Vista won't auto sleep after SP1

03-22-2008

I have three PCs in my house running Vista. Before installing SP1, all
of them would routinely go to sleep automatically, as per the power
management settings. Since installing SP1, they continue running
without ever going into sleep mode. I can still enter sleep mode
manually, which works fine, it's just the automatic sleep that won't
work.

Only software in common across all three machines (other than Vista)
is Office 2007 and Windows Live OneCare. Both were installed prior to
installing SP1.

Thanks for your help,
Max

Max,
I have same problem with my Vista machine. Power management was working
fine before SP1. I am also now having the problem with my monitor no longer
going to sleep and sometimes having a problem with the screen saver starting.

Does anybody know of a solutions yet?

We have an excellent tutorial on sleep related issues. Maybe there's something in there that can assist you. Here's the link: Power Options and Sleep Mode Problems

I hope this helps.

Having the same problem here -- worked great before SP1. No settings
changed. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks Brian.

Man, reading this **** really makes me appreciate my system. I have had none of these issues.

TRSCGA & Joe,

What motherboard (or motherboard chipset) are you using? Perhaps this
could be related to a specific BIOS or driver incompatibility with
SP1?

I'll post mine tonight, as I don't recall which chipset I'm using, and
I'm at work now, so I can't check.

Hrm, let's see -- It's an Asus P5N32-E SLI, running BIOS 1205.

Mine is the Intel P35 chipset, though my wife's computer is using an
nVidia chipset and is having the same symptoms, so probably that's not
the issue.

Go to Advance Power Settings.

Set hard drive to turn off a minute or 2 before sleep.

Set Hybrid and Hibernate modes to "Never/Off"

Under USB settings select "Disable"

Under Multimedia select "Allow ....."
