My sig rig is giving me some problems. When I select "Sleep" from the shut down menu the computer doesnt go to sleep. The power LED blinks as if it was in sleep mode but its actually not. the moniter sleeps properly but all the fans and everything thing else is running. I have the latest bios 1405 for my mobo. I need some Help! :confused:
 
If you want the fans and everything to stop, you need hibernation.
 
Hibernation is a different story. when i click hibernate it will shut down and hibernate BUT only for abour 30 to 45 seconds!! then it will turn on automatically! Im about to pull my pubes out!! its so frustrating.

Platform Power Management Capabilities:Supported Sleep States
Sleep states allow the computer to enter low-power modes after a period of inactivity. The S3 sleep state is the default sleep state for Windows platforms. The S3 sleep state consumes only enough power to preserve memory contents and allow the computer to resume working quickly. Very few platforms support the S1 or S2 Sleep states.
S1 Sleep Supported true
S2 Sleep Supported false
S3 Sleep Supported false
S4 Sleep Supported true

The only time your fans stop is if the computer completely shuts down. For that to happen, you need to have the RAM data to be stored on the hard drive. This is called hibernation.

Hibernation may not be enabled by default on desktops.
Have you enabled hibernation?


Edit:
From Windows Help:
What's the difference between sleep, hibernate, and hybrid sleep?

Sleep is a power-saving state that allows a computer to quickly resume full-power operation (typically within several seconds) when you want to start working again. Putting your computer into the sleep state is like pausing a DVD player: The computer immediately stops what it’s doing and is ready to start again when you want to resume working.

Hibernation is a power-saving state designed primarily for laptops. While sleep puts your work and settings in memory and draws a small amount of power, hibernation puts your open documents and programs on your hard disk, and then turns off your computer. Of all the power-saving states in Windows, hibernation uses the least amount of power. On a laptop, use hibernation when you know that you won’t use your laptop for an extended period and won't have an opportunity to charge the battery during that time.

Hybrid sleep is designed primarily for desktop computers. Hybrid sleep is a combination of sleep and hibernate—it puts any open documents and programs in memory and on your hard disk, and then puts your computer into a low-power state so that you can quickly resume your work. That way, if a power failure occurs, Windows can restore your work from your hard disk. When hybrid sleep is turned on, putting your computer into sleep automatically puts your computer into hybrid sleep. Hybrid sleep is typically turned on by default on desktop computers.

I have issues with W7 sleep. On Vx64, it worked great, on the same box, now with W7RC x64, it doesn't wake properly and if it does, sometimes the BIOS settings are all jacked to hell. NEVER had an issue with Vista..
