| | New hard drive and sleep problem I recently replaced my hard disk - upgraded from SATA 1.0 to SATA 2.0. I'm getting great performance, but unfortunately now the PC won't sleep or hibernate. I checked all the settings in the Power Options and nothing has changed. I already have wake timers disabled. I can live without this functionality, but your thoughts are appreciated  |

| | Have you tried updating your chipset/SATA controller drivers? Also make sure that the hard drive is set to turn off before the computer sleeps. |

I've made a little progress. I turned off hibernation and "sleep" started to work properly. I turned Hibernation back on and the problem returned. For the moment I've left it off while I check for BIOS/Driver updates. |

| | Great, now we have something to go on. Have you read Shawn's excellent tutorial on sleep problems in the Vista forums? Power Options and Sleep Mode Problems - Vista Forums Still applicable to 7. |
