    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.

    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.

    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.

    Whatever makes you so sure that "typing on keys or use of mouse" should
    actually wake your computer?

    When my laptop is in sleep or hibernation mode, the only way to wake it
    is to press the power button. In sleep mode, opening the lid will also
    wake the laptop.

    Re: sleep and won't wake up

    Whenever mine goes into sleep, it really doesn't (at least I don't think so)
    because the power button doesn't flash off and on (it used to when sleep
    worked). I've left all the default settings the same. In order to turn it
    on, I have to push the power button to turn it off, then on again (still the
    screen stays blank), then off again, then on again. Finally, the screen says
    "Cannot resume from current restoration settings." Then it ask if I want to
    continue to try resuming or if I want to erase restoration data and reboot,
    which is what I have to do. I tried a patch from microsoft, but it didn't
    work. Any ideas?
