Try disabling all bios power options, to not wake the computer (mouse,
keyboard, on-board NIC, whatever) save and reboot and try sleep again.

If that fails, go back and enable the stuff you want to wake it (I use keyb
and mouse), disable the onboard NIC, and install a supported PCI NIC.
Reboot, get the NIC's driver installed, and try sleep again.

That's a start and worked for me on a stubborn 965P board.
