    Ok this is kinda desktop related but i hope you guys can/will help.

    When i put my desktop on sleep it doesn't go to sleep. Screen blackens and then it comes right back.

    It used to just have the screen blacken and the fans and lights kept running.

    Needless to say this is annoying and i'm tired of freaking shutting on/off my computer.

    Thanks in advance.

    My notebook has this problem when sleeping. Annoyingly it does not go to sleep. It's a Vista problem. I'm thinking it may be some programs/hardware device running in the background that wakes it up immediately.

    Same problem here, but a way you can solve it is to just put your PC in hibernate. unless you have a torrent open it's a good solution.

    You can always try to downgrade the BIOS if you didn't need the update...
