Re: Dell Dimension running Vista won't come out of sleep mode

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

We had the same problem - computer would go to sleep and monitor would not
wake back up, or monitor would enter power save mode in the middle of an
application. We reloaded Vista and we have not had the problem since.

On my Dell XPS 410 lights 3 and 4 signify:
Memory modules are detected, but a memory failure has occurred.

I am suffering from the exact same problem. Though I don't have an
answer, I would love to hear the solution to this problem. Oddly enough
I too was using a bluetooth keyboard when this happened, a Logitech
diNovo Edge to be exact. Only the computer went to sleep after I
accidently hit the power button on it (It's the Mac Edition keyboard).
And as you said after trying to power on the tower the light does not
immediatly go green. After 30 seconds it lights solid and the 3 and 4
stay lit. No display, and noy input devices are powered.

and I had just been on the computer for 2 hours before this happened,
everything was working fine. The only clue I can give is that when I
started
this two hour session windows popped up and asked permission for
startup
programs to have access. I said yes, and went on to work for two
hours. I I
have had an XP machine for years. This Vista was only purchased in
October.
The two machines are networked. When I turn on the Vista machine, it
is
louder than usual, and two lights flash on the front, 3 and 4. Any
assistance would be appreciated.
