PC Won't wake from sleep

Nice rig you have - I hate nvidia, and its damn drivers, and the problems its caused people, however, the fix is generally installing the latest video card driver, so if for some gaming reason you havent been updating your drivers try the latest 7 driver.

I have NVIDIA 190.38 drivers which are for win7x64 but from what I just saw right now, not the latest (looks like 190.62 is out). I will update and see the results.

Maybe this tutorial help you:Power Plan Settings - Change,if not I suggest update BIOS and drivers for chipset

I was wondering about my chipset drivers and where I can get the latest. I have an ASUS M3A32-MVP and when I checked a couple weeks ago, I didn't see anything available on their site for 7. Also, I am running 'Drivermax' and It didn't find anything for my chipset either, meaning I should have the latest I believe.

If don't exist drivers for 7 you should try for Vista instead,neverless I think you have already driver for chipset up to date.But I suspect you don't have the newest BIOS -for your motherboard is from 2009/06/11 ver 1705
here you have:ASUSTeK Computer Inc.-Support-

Intel drivers here - download from Guru3D.com
They may need to be installed in compatibility mode with vista if they wont install because of an OS mismatch -
To install a driver OR program in compatibility mode - right click the setup.exe file - click properties - click compatibility - check run in compatibility with vista/xp etc - check run as administrator - leave the rest blank. Start setup.exe and install.
I agree with Flavius they probably wont need updating. Dates dont mean much as they are mainly for the latest boards.

I haven't had the chance to try updating a few of my drivers and seeing if it fixes but I was reading this, if you guys haven't found this thread yet, check it out, seems like someone has found a possible fix.

Thanks and yes I have bios 1705.

ok, I had this same issue... computer would not go fully into sleep mode, the monitor would be blank (btw I was not getting check cable message on monitor so I know it was connected. I also swapped DVI cables, etc.)

the problem seemed to be with going to sleep because I had disabled an audio card that I was getting poor audio out of (Creative SB X-Fi. still working this issue). I enabled the audio card, and now the computer goes to sleep properly and resumes properly as well...

so, check you audio cards too, as I know most mother boards have a built in audio (Realtek) and many folks add another higher end card and disable the other...

good luck!

I had a similar problem. It would be worth checking that your monitor isnt confused about whether it is receiving an analog or digital signal from the display card:
