Hi guys, hoping some of you might be able to help me with this!

Im running a Gigabyte GA_P35_DS3R with a Q6600 Go-stepping, 8800GTX, 2gb Crucial ballistix 1066 all run by a Tagan 700W and running on Vista 32-bit

Quite often, when I put the PC into standby, either by choosing 'Sleep' or the red/orange power button in the start menu, it will turn off all lights on my G15 keyboard, except num lock, and iwll turn my mouse off. Then the PC makes the sound it does when it turns off, yet the fans and lights in my case stay running.

When it has done this, I have no way to get the PC back on, unless is switch it off at the power supply!

Any ideas anyone?
Cheers, Tom

Check in the BIOS for 'Wake with mouse'; or 'Wake with keyboard' option if your keyboard has a 'wake' button.

Enabling 'Wake with mouse' should enable a mouse move to bring your PC out of standby.
 
When it goes to standby properly, i.e fans and all lights off then it comes out of Sleep mode by clicking mouse or pressing a key.

Thankyou though! :)
 
You could try pressing the power button quickly to bring it out of sleep mode if the mouse and keyboard don't respond, this will have the same effect.
 
nope, that doesnt do anything. As i said the only way i can do it is to turn it off at the power. nothing else works. pressing power button, reset, any key combination etc

I have known some overclocking software to cause this or motherboard software for overclocking - have you recently installed such software? If not it could also be power saving settings enabled on the usb ports - this can sometimes cause this behaviour, not to mention graphics drivers getting corrupted. A few ideas for you.

Thankyou Mark, ill have a look through my power saving settings.

Not touched any settings for a fair while. main recent change was a move to Vista from XP. It didnt do it in XP, although i never used to use standby mode then.

PC isnt overclocked, it used to be when i got it, but it **** itself one day and undid everything, HAHA.

the main thing that confuses me is the intermittency of it
