Hello again,
I have an ASUS P6T SE motherboard running a Windows 7 Ultimate x64 install, which until recently slept like a baby. Now its sleep is disturbed whenever I tell it to sleep - the screen will turn off and the hard drives turn off as well, but it will simply hang in this state indefinitely until I hold down the power button for four seconds. When I turn the computer back on, it looks like it's coming out of hibernation, complete with the "Resuming Windows..." message, except the logon screen takes a very long time to draw and the system's entire performance is sluggish until I legitimately restart the machine.
This occurs even if I use the sleep option from the logon screen itself. I just updated my BIOS to the 0908 revision (most recent) and it still has this problem. Sleep mode is very important to me as it is the quickest option to turn off my case LEDs and make my room dark enough for me to sleep myself. I use a shutdown utility called AMP WinOFF which I installed after a different suite was giving me these same issues (in the midst of writing this post, I uninstalled the program to no avail).
All suggestions and recommendations are welcomed.
