With Windows 7/64, Power Options used to make the display and computer sleep until some months ago when it won’t automatically go to sleep. I can still manually sleep/wake the computer fine. Tried all suggestions to no avail. Having exact same problem as “fab” 2010-01-25 and “rar33013″ 2010-12-12.

Now I know that USB peripherals can wake the computer. So when inserting a USB, be sure to check it's properties and uncheck the "Allow device to wake the computer." Thanks for sharing the last step.
