I need some help please. When I schedule a recording using Windows media centre, and endeavour to put the computer into "Sleep" mode, the screen goes black and turns off but the computer still continues to run. I also have a program for recording TV called ICUVS which works perfectly in as much as it awakes from sleep mode and went sleep mode is selected, it shuts the PC down.
I have updated my bios, Video card drivers and TV card drivers but no change. I am running windows 7, with a P55A-UD3 mobo with a Sapphire HD5770 graphics card. The TV card is a Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1200-DVB-T. I tried numerous suggestions but I cannot get the PC to shut down into the complete sleep mode. If I don't schedule a program in Media Centre it will go into sleep mode. It is only when a program is scheduled. I have been through earlier forum postings but could not find any reference to this. Any help would be appreciated .......... Gary

What are your BIOS sleep settings set to?

Hi .........at the moment it is set to S3 (STR). There is only one other selection and that it S1 (POS). Do I need to change that? I suppose I should have tried that, but it never dawned on me that it could be the problem because the sleep selection worked so well of the ICUVS software as I explained above.
