When my computer goes to sleep or puts the monitors into standby when I move the mouse all I get is flashes of the screen and a box with 3 options in it which does not display long enough to see and I finally have to shut down the computer. I am running an ATI card with the new 8 drivers on a new Dell Studio desktop.

You may also try going into advanced sleep options(Control Panel/Hardware and Sound/Power Options/ Edit plan settings). I had a sleep problem, I fixed it in here.
I have mine set to:
Additional settings/require pword on wake= yes
Harddisk/Turn harddisk off after= 59 min
Sleep/sleep after= 60 min
USB/USB selective suspend setting= Disabled
Power buttons and lid/ Power button= shut down/Sleep button= Sleep/Start menu power button= Sleep
PCI Express/Link State Power Mgmt= Off
Display/Turn display off after= 15 min/Adaptive display= Off
My computer now sleeps and wakes as it should, so u may try this.
