Hi. I've been using windows 7 ultimate for almost 3 months now without any problems. However, a new issue has recently cropped up over the last three days (or so it seems). Essentially, my PC will S3 sleep when told to sleep manually, but will never idle to sleep.
I've checked power settings for USB devices, network cards, audio cards, turned off all sidebar programs, turned off every program I have running in the background, and pretty much every trick I could think of, but none of them work (including the infamous media sharing "allow to sleep" option). I'm very much convinced its a bug as the only recent change has been going from the default aero theme to a custom one with a slideshow wallpaper. As soon as I made that switch, I haven't been able to idle to sleep.
Again, windows 7 has no problem sleeping with a manual command, but never sleeps when idle. The monitor does indeed go black at the appropriate time.
