Suspend Not Working

How do I get suspend working on my puter?

Board: MSI 760GM-P23

Processor: AMD FX 4300 BLACK EDITION 3.8 GHZ Quad Core - 8 gig cache

8gigs memory

Monitor shuts down, computer stays on.

:huh:

You will need to edit your preferences here, desktop systems are usually not set up to suspend by default.
System Settings > Power Management

Never had a problem before. what am I suppose to edit? I took a look and nothing there, regarding.

Suspend session allotted time and what type (sleep hibernate,etc.)

I don’t think you understand the situation.

I’m not looking to suspend on timed basis… I’m simply wanting the puter to go to sleep when I put it into suspension.
When I DO select the suspension icon from the log-out menu, the monitor goes to sleep, but the puter stays awake! I don’t know any other way of explaining the situation.

So it is not going into deep sleep (s3).
I guess it is enabled in bios ?

Did you install proprietary drivers for your graphicscard (if applicable, so only for ati/amd & nvidia) ?

No… the graphix are ATI Radeon 3000HD.

I went into the bios and it was set to S1. So I set it to S3 and got it working. Thanks
