Re: Dano, that was great troubleshooting and
I'm baaaak, well if you've been reading this thread you know I found the problem and fixed it........so I thought.
Anyway, it came back. But I learned if I manually put it to sleep it would wake every time, but if I let it go to sleep on it's own that's when it had problems waking.
So I decided to live with it and just put it to sleep myself manually.
But the other night I got to thinking. This problem started a while before I rebuilt, and since then everything has been replaced or swapped out at one point or another and clean installs of Windows 7 in a variety of editions and versions both 32 and 64 bit, all with the same results.
Anyway, after wracking my brain I realized there was one single component that remained the same. I have a Seagate 1TB drive that I installed a while back, clean formatted and used strictly as a backup drive, it's never had an OS on it and shows up as "F" drive after my Primary (C), my DVD drive (D), second HDD (E).
I reached in and unplugged it and the computer wakes up every time, problem is completely gone.
I've since removed the drive entirely and installed it into an external enclosure, and now use it as an external USB drive for my back ups. It still shows up as the "F" drive. It's happy there and I'm just as happy. - Thanks again, Dano
