After upgrading to Lion, my Mac Pro will not go to sleep. As a matter of fact, not only is it not going to sleep, it seems to be pushing the hardware "full tilt" all the time.
I've looked all over the net and could only find people having problems with their MacBooks and MacBook Pros not sleeping but much of the fixes don't apply to me.
I have it set to go to sleep after 15 minutes, putting the hard drive to sleep whenever possible. I have FireVault turned off, and I have even turned off Time Machine, in an attempt to stop anything that could be keeping it awake. My display goes into sleep (which is another rant in itself because it never wants to wake from sleep even though the computer is awake >.<) but not my Mac Pro.
This is a fresh install of Lion, not an upgrade from SL. I just put in an extra hard drive and installed Lion to that, while maintaining my SL drive because I have software on there that will not run on Lion that I still use.
This is so frustrating.
Any suggestions?

Okay, so right after I posted this I thought of something that could at least be causing it to run so hard, or sound like it is. I had two ATI Radeon 3870 video cards installed, along with the stock Nvidia that came with it.
I took the two 3870s out and it is running nice and quiet again. I guess I need better drivers for those two cards to run with Lion. I don't use them anymore anyways, so I'm just going to leave them out for now. Now to see if my Mac will go to sleep...
