* Sleep mode...no work in W-7 *

Ok here's the deal I'm running W-7 with CrossFire. Before going CrossFire, and with a single card. W-7 would go into sleep mode. Now with two cards
no sleep mode. I've looked in control panel, power options, Bios, nothing works. I can get the monitor to go into sleep mode. But not the PC...
I wonder if this is a glitch of W-7? Has anyone else had this problem with W-7 ?......

I'd suspect driver issues rather than OS issues for sleep/suspend/hibernate problems in general.

Thanks bud, I suspected as much....
I may go back to older ATI drivers and see if it helps.

Yeah its a definite ATI driver problem, as I found out on the ATI forums.
AMD Game Forums - Could it be that ati drivers are causing problem with sleep mode?

Hiya SS,
I agree, it is an AMD driver issue, they had similar issues initially with Vista. NV seems to be miles ahead with Win 7 drivers at this point.
