    sleep and power

    installed vista 64 ultimate, after 20 mins pc went to sleep, case went dark,
    hit a key neon lights up, punched in password good to go. Well it all
    changed, now when it comes back from sleep it reloads vista. I hate waiting,
    tried changing it back but no luck. Hibernate, sleep, balanced power plan all
    greek to me nothing works. i like the idea of the case shutting down, but not
    enough to wait for vista to reload. For now leave on 24/7 with monitor going
    dark after 20 mins. Any ideas would be helpfull, tried numerous combinations
    for a week and gave up.

    Hi Stev1987,

    Double check your settings using this tutorial to see if it can help. I would check you Power Plan Options settings in STEP TWO first.
