Solve : Sleep mode sometimes freezes?

1.	Solve : Sleep mode sometimes freezes?
Answer» I see that vista and win 7 are having similar issues. I am new here so sorry if it's a DUPE post. A few days ago a problem surfaced with the pc, when the sleep mode would kick in, I would not be able to wake it without a reboot. I went in and turned off anything that had to do with sleep mode. I only have the screen save kick in after 20 min. Everything else is set to never. I even went into the bios and made sure that I had wake from mouse and wake from any key enabled. Yesterday I reformatted the hard drive and reinstalled XP. I downloaded the latest nvidia drivers and all seemed good. I let the pc run all night long and came down to check this morning and everything was fine. I try to play an online game which USUALLY runs fine, about 3 min in the good ol' sleep mode issue presents itself. I checked the event viewer but wasn't sure which AREA I need to focus on. Could this be a vid card issue? I REALLY don't want to replace both cards but will if I have to. thanksIf it's desktop, don't use any power saving features. They rarely work 100%.the only thing enabled is screen saver after 20 min. It only does it when playing games.Quote when the sleep mode would kick in ??Sleep mode and hibernate have never really been perfected by Microsoft. They work great for some and cause problems for many others. Instead, just set the HD and display to power down after a defined period of inactivity. It will accomplish your goals and actually be easier on your system.Quote from: Broni on September 13, 2009, 01:04:46 PM ?? the display would go black like the monitor powered down, and theres no way to get it back except for resetting the pc.
