PC Will Not Resume from Sleep!

Thanks I tried this and it made no difference for me at all... any further thoughts or help please?

The no resume from sleep mode is a video driver problem. I did some testing of various ATI and Nvida graphics cards. What I found is the Nvida Win 7 drivers work properly and the ATI Win 7 drivers don't. I would avoid sleep mode until Win 7 drivers are available for your graphics card.

The MCE standby tool workes 50 percent of the time, other than that it still has these issues WITH the latest ATI DRIVERS for a 2nd generation video card from ATI, so You are wrong!

It could be a certain set of windows 7 drivers that BROKE resume from sleep. It could be a needed BIOS update for your motherboard or a certain Sequence of BIOS settings that need to be in the right order for this to work.

When my pc messes up I have to push the power till it goes off, push on, wait till it gets to login screen, USB is dead 50 percent of the time it does this so lets say i got USB control, then i can login. Once I log in i have no sound (X-Fi PCI Xtremegamer), and have to reboot.

Sometimes it dont even go to login screen and it just has the Video card fans at 100 percent and a black screen or a black screeen sometimes with a blinking cursor in the top left side of my monitor.

Sometimes it gives me a clear resume data and if I dont choose clear data, continuing will hose the computer.

I have been working with computer for 15 years and worked for 4 different comptuer stores with thousands of issues never heard of and I fixed. This issue being my own is RARE, and takes money to troubleshoot due to having to swap out parts to see if THAT WORKED. I feel embarrassed I cannot fix this and will be the only computer that has BEAT me.
