[Solved] ASUS P5GDC Can't Sleep or Hibernate

[spacesurfer]

My system can't sleep or hibernate. When I click on sleep, it simply logs off and Vista goes into lock mode. When I put it on hibernate, it seems to go into hibernations but then it restarts from beginning and then it says resuming from hibernation and comes right back up again.

System Specs:

MOBO: Asus P5GDC

Graphics: Onboard intel

HDD: two Maxtor's sata

Memory: 512 mb

Anyone know if this can be fixed?

It works on Windows XP SP2 perfectly!

Yes it is, according to my device manager.

See my screenshot below:

Maybe I don't have enough memory? I don't know.

check avaliable free hard disk space ..

Yes, I have plenty of free space on Vista partition - 10 GB to be exact. I don't think it would require more than 10 GB, would it?

Anyway, putting computer to sleep doesn't require any HDD space at all - at least it didn't on Windows XP SP2.

Awesome!!! Finally my computer can sleep. I've been trying to figure this out all this time.

I just disabled "Allow this device to wake the computer" and it works.

It is found in Device Manager --> Right click your keyboard --> Properties --> Power Management tab --> uncheck "Allow this device..."

Do this for both Keyboard and Mouse.

Although only my mouse is wireless, I had to do it for the keyboard too to get it to work.
