Hi, Im a brand new user to macs (longtime windows user) and this is my first one. I installed windows onto my mac mini, and everything works great, except it wont sleep or hibernate. The power buttons/settings are as they should be to let the computer sleep when I push the power button while in windows. here's what happens:
The computer goes to sleep, and the white light fades in and out for about 1 minute. At this point the computer wakes right back up.
If I set it to go into hibernate, it does the exact same thing. I cannot get it to sleep/hibernate, period. I'm running windows 7 ultimate, with all windows updates current. I also installed the following applications: MS Office 2010, and Plex, that's it.
When I got the mac, I replaced the stock 5400rpm HDD and replaced it with a Samsung 840 pro 256gb SSD. I installed the Samsung magician application and updated the firmware and settings accordingly (all green lights on the samsung app). I'm using this primarily as an HTPC and using the HDMI out, analog audio to optical audio out and the ethernet cable. I have disabled the wifi. That's all the settings I can think of, but please let me know if there's anything else you'd like to know about my setup.
