System can go into sleep manually, but not automatically

I have a home-built computer running Vista Home Premium x64.

Curious problem.

I can put the computer to sleep from from the shut-down menu
manually--i.e., where you see "restart," "shut down," "sleep," etc. with
no problem.

But for some reason from my power plan option, which I set at control
panel, it won't go into sleep automatically. The monitor will shut off,
but everything else--hard drive, fan, etc.--keeps going.

Any thoughts? Thanks.

Which power plan are you using when this occurs? Have you tried changing
the settings (time until sleep, etc.) and then changing them back?

Cheers,

Try reducing the time interval before sleep eg 30 minutes make work better
than trying to go say 2 hours without a mouse wobble.
