System having issues with standby

I'm having a curious problem with my homebuilt system that's been happening consistently for the past 2 weeks now. When I try to put the system into standby mode, the monitor flickers off and the wireless antenna shuts down and windows acknowledges that we're going to go into standby now. However, the lights and fans on my PC don't shut off as they normally should and when I go to wake the system up, I can hear the tower working as usual, but the monitor refuses to turn back on unless I hit the reset button on my case. I'm wondering if this is a problem with a windows update that I ran last week, or if it's just a problem with my monitor itself or what, because I've really got two problems here. Any advice or thoughts would be very appreciated.

Thanks,

FP

PS: the system is:

AMD 6000 X2
2 Gb RAM
2 Seagate 160's
Asus M2N SLI deluxe mobo
EVGA 8600 GTS
And a **** HP monitor

There's nothing in the nVidia control panel about a wake up option anywhere. Also, how do I get to the power management area of my BIOS? Is it possible for my BIOS to get that messed up without anyone touching it?

Hey cool, it works, thanks. However, now when I go to wake it back up, I have to use the power button and not a movement of the mouse or a touch of the keyboard. Is there any way to get it to do this again?


Thanks so much.
