Vista will go into sleep mode Ok, and initially I was able to get it to
recover from sleep mode properly. Then I added an additional gig of ram,
for a total of 2. I have an Acer ase 380 PC. After adding the ram, the PC
will no longer recover from sleep, neither mouse nor video comes back on.

Any ideas would be appreciated

I am also having similar problems with Vista sleep. I bought the HP
Pavilion computer on May 25, and sleep worked until June 13, not aware what
might have changed. Mine will not wake up properly either; the screen is
dark, and the keyboard and mouse inoperative. It will (after a few minutes)
give the BSOD, then reboot itself. I have unchecked and changed many things
as suggested in various forums, but no permanent solution. I am doing
without (i.e. not permitted it to go to sleep & turning it off totally for
overnight).
 
Has Microsoft come up with a solution for this yet? Shutting down everytime
I leave the computer just isn't realistic with the number of times I get on
and off of it. The manufacturer has not been any help yet.

Someone told me that they had the same problems and replaced their power
source and now it works fine. My manufacturer has not recommended that yet.
None of the tech people we talked about seemed to have heard about the
problem even though there are hundreds of threads on the internet about it.

I have an HP and its giving me the same problem...I am tired of turning my
computer off and on to get it out of sleep mode. I hope Microsoft fixes this
problem soon. I will continue to search the internet to see if anybody else
has been able to resolve this problem.
 
Hi Ian,
I copied this from the below link. I hope this helps you...If not, you might
have to turn off sleep mode altogether.

Good Luck,
Phillip

A Windows Vista-based computer does not resume from sleep mode if you move
or click a USB mouse as the computer is entering sleep mode

SYMPTOMS
Consider the following scenario. You have a universal serial bus (USB) mouse
connected to a Windows Vista-based computer. You move or click the mouse as
the computer is entering sleep mode. Then, after the computer has entered
sleep mode, you try to resume the computer by using the mouse or by pressing
a key on the keyboard. In this scenario, the computer stops responding
(hangs) at a black screen.

CAUSE
This issue occurs because some USB mouse devices do not work correctly with
sleep mode in Windows Vista.

RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, type device in the Start Search box, and then click Device
Manager in the Programs list.
2. In the User Account Control dialog box, click Continue.
3. In Device Manager, expand Mice and other pointing devices.
4. Right-click the USB mouse, and then click Properties.
5. Click the Power Management tab.
6. Click to clear the Allow this device to wake the computer check box, and
then click OK.
 
I have a new HP computer and when I got it last week, it wouldn't wake up. I
called HP support (I wish they could speak English!) and eventually they gave
me this link:

www.sleep-fix.notlong.com.

I put that in my browser and it executed something. Waking up sleep mode
worked better for nearly a week (only had to reboot after all night), but now
it fails every time again. Any more ideas?

Thanks
 
I have a similar problem. When my PC goes into sleep mode it disables the
keyboard and mouse so I have no way to get it out of sleep mode. A hard
reboot wakes it up, but this is not healthy operation. I have run all updates
but no progress on this issue. Any suggestions?
 
I have the same problem!

Best thing to do for the moment is to disable sleep in the power settings.

I'm running a $4000 Asus computer with the works and that was the only
current working solution.

Have to wait until MS, Nvidia and Intel etc... get together and figure it
out.
 
Go to Advance Power Settings.
Set hard drive to turn off a minute or 2 before sleep.
Set Hybrid and Hibernate modes to "Off"
Under USB settings select "Disable"
Under Multimedia select "Allow ....."

I have a new Dell Inspiration 530 and was experiencing the same problem. I
Set the power options to never sleep, Hard drive never sleep etc. but in the
morning it was like trying to wake up my teenage son, no avail.

In one of the threads someone mentioned updating the bios. I went to the
dell site and downloaded and installed a newer update and now the problem
seems to be solved.

I haven't had time to experiment with the power settings to activate sleep
mode since I have updated bios.

Hope this helps
 
I have a brand new Gateway, only 3 days at home, and had a problem with sleep
mode and had to use the power button to close Windows (not the way to do
things!). Windows did not load properly, since it did not shut down properly,
and a black screen came up with the Safe Mode options, plus a Load Windows
Normally prompt, which I selected --- and it opened OK. This is alarming on
a NEW computer! I think I'll take everyone's advice and disable sleep mode,
but I'd rather not since I use my PC 4 or 5 times a day.

I was having the same problem - i.e. Vista would go into sleep mode and
not wake up - have to do a hard restart.

The additional problem for me was that I use my computer to record
television shows via the Media Center. The temporary solution I suggest
(though not very energy efficient) is to go to: Control Panel ->
Hardware and Sound -> Power Options and on the left bar click "Change
when the computer sleeps" and choose "Never" in the pull down menu.

Hope this helps...

Lets all go back to June 2007 and celebrate your revelation.

Firstly, this isn't a forum. It's a Usenet newsgroup.
(microsoft.public.windows.vista.general)
Secondly, your 'solution' was really a work-around, not a repair.
Thirdly, without including any of the original post, even though it is
*over* 2 years old, no one here has any idea WTF you're talking about!

The problem is - this isn't a forum. It's not your fault for not knowing
this and tons of people make that mistake. They're meant to be misled by the
owners of the "forum". Here's the explanation:

Thanks for the information, but no one knows to whom you are giving this
information since you are not posting on a real forum as you think you are
and you didn't quote any of the thread to which you are replying. You are
using a web interface that leeches Usenet posts and most of the rest of us
are using real newsreaders. We don't see what you do. If you want to
participate in Usenet, the better way is to set up a newsreader. This is
very easy to do and I'll give you information about that below. If you
prefer to use a forum, then here are two excellent ones:

http://forum.aumha.org/index.php
http://http://computerhaven.info/

Since you are using a web interface, you may not realize that this is really
a newsgroup. You will get far more out of this resource if you learn to use
a newsreader. There are many good newsreaders for Windows, but you can use
Outlook Express (XP) or Windows Mail (Vista) since you already have it. Here
are some links to information about newsgroups:
