I have Vista x32 ultimate SP1
Vista has had these two problems both before & after SP1:
1. Trying to force Vista to sleep (using the red power button at the logon screen) has the system half the time enter a "half" asleep state where certain USB things like the mouse/keyboard are powered down, the monitor is off but the drives+fans are running. Nothing can wake the system up except a hard reboot.
2. Leaving Vista to sleep by itself - half the time it ends with DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE blue screen but no memory.dmp file has been written (it is set to write a Kernal file if it crashes & I turned auto reboot off)
I have run sigverif and there are only a couple of minor unsigned drivers - a few of the Nvidia ones (but this is from 169.25 which is WHQL certified - the only drivers ever installed on this system) and entech.sys which is related to 3dmark05.
Any ideas what could cause this kind of behaviour?
