    I've recently bought an Acer Aspire 5612ZWLMi running Vista Home Premium. On the whole I'm happy with it and actually quite like Vista except for the power management - which I've had to set to never hibernate and never sleep - the machine will never wake from either of these states.

    I've googled around and there seems to be a dozen or so hotfixes available and thousands of users having similar issues with Vista. I've tried the Intel graphics card update without success. I don't really want to start applying beta hotfixes all over the place. Has anyone else had the same problems and found a relailbe fix for this machine?

    i have experienced a similar problem with my 9300, i do believe its a vista/driver issue, also the problem gets logged in the event viewer but it never mentions what device/process/etc causes the issue.
    i side stepped the problem by installing xp instead.
    i cant say i tried very hard to fix the issue lol

    Thats odd, it sounds like that you're having a software issue with the epowermanagement; you could try uninstalling it and installing a newer version, or creating a new power profile and saving it there.
