I have a problem with my Windows 7 desktop.
Everything works fine, except that it can't goes sleep, when I try to make it sleeps (clicking on "Sleep" on the start menu), it just locks the session (It does like if I clicked on "lock"),
I have no problems with the Sleep mode with Linux on the same computer…
Nothing appear in the event logs (except some services start/stop when it try to sleep)
I also see that when I try to make it sleep, I have some USB-related errors (Communication Failure on my USB UPS, and the screen on my Logitech G15 shows nothing until I restart the services)
It worked at the begin, I don't know why it stopped working.. I would prefer to not format just for this….
I tried to unplug all the USB devices (except the mouse) and disabling as the possible services, that don't change anything..
Any ideas please ?
Thank you

Check your power settings by running through this list (especially make sure the hybrid sleep mode is disabled):

It is for Vista, but it applies to Windows 7 (to a degree).
