I just completed an upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 on my HP Pavilion a1730n
and all w2orks fine except for recovering from sleep mode. It looks as
though I will have to replace the motherboard in the Pavilion. I am looking
for comments as to what I may expect when Windows 7 is booted into a new
motherboard. Thanks.

Please, explain how you went from "upgraded from Vista to Windows 7" and "
all works fine except for recovering from sleep mode" to "I will have to
replace the motherboard"?

Just tried getting drivers for the chipset and other hardware devices in
your computer centered around Windows 7?
 
Windows 7 sleep problems in my experience are the worst of any MS operating
system.
On every one of my Win 7 machines, laptop and desktop, Intel and AMD,
factory installed or upgrade, there are problems if the computer has been in
sleep mode:
--the most annoying is that none of these machines will reliably shut down
if they have been in sleep mode.
--connections to wireless sometimes and bluetooth devices always are lost
when emerging from sleep
--Windows Explorer demonstrates unstable behavior after the computer emerges
from sleep

Good luck finding a solution.
 
No problems with my Win 7 laptop coming out of sleep mode. What registry
cleaner have you been using? That is usually the root of those type of
problems.
 
If you want to use your computer: Power it on.
When you are finished using your computer: Power it off.

No problem with sleep mode.

Unless you would like to have a scheduled job run at some late hour and
don't want to use all that extra electricity.
 
haveing it wake up preform the task and going back to sleep does not take
any extra power what so ever.
modern computers turn off all hard drive's and fans when in sleep mode as
well as most modern monators go to sleep as well.

In general, when upgrading to a different version of Windows, you are
usually required to re-install the motherboard chipset drivers. These
tell Windows how to access the motherboard components correctly.
