Desktop reboots itself on sleep or hibernate

I have been using an ASUS M2NPV-VM motherboard for main home desktop workstation, operating Windows Vista x64. This computer has right from day one not been able to enter hibernate or standby; after Windows performs its final actions and brings the machine down, it would automatically revive itself for a reboot.

The problem is that your mouse or your keyboard automatically wakes up your computer when you want to put it in sleep. To disable this behaviour go to Device Manager, choose your mouse / keyboard and disable something like "This device can wake the computer up." This worked for me. :)

"After updating BIOS load set up defaults from the BIOS menu
Install the latest power management drivers from ASUS
Make sure ACPI is set up correctly in the BIOS
Check event viewer to see if there are any events that can be correlated to this problem
Check under ""System properties"" -> ""Startup and Recovery"" that it does not automatically restart. In case you have something that brakes during hibernation/standby that causes an automatic reboot.

I hope you manage to fix it!"
