I have an HP m8020n. I can put it into sleep mode manually, and it will stay in sleep mode until I wake it up with the keyboard or the mouse (or until something like my antivirus software is scheduled to run).
However, it won't go into sleep mode automatically. I've created a custom power management profile and tinkered with the advanced settings and told it to sleep after 10 minutes of inactivity, but it just won't do it.
My first thought was that something was continually telling the PC to stay awake so that it could not go to sleep, but then I figured that that same process should also make it wake up right after I made it go to sleep manually.
Any theories or suggestions about where to look?

run a ad-aware scan to make sure that there is nothing that is inhibiting your computers sleep modes... when in sleep mode, no data should be transfered via the network ports. manually putting it in might shut down the send and leave the receive open, letting it stay in sleep... there may be a malicious program on your computer that sends data, keeping your comp from entering sleep mode automaticly...
