Default System sometimes doesn't shut off in sleep or hibernation (Vista)

I have a problem regarding my system not shutting down during sleep or hibernation. The problem is not consistent, as it sometimes does shut down..
It's been like this ever since the system was new at stock. Since then, I've formatted, reinstalled Vista, added more hdd's in raid 0 and upgraded both bios and OS to 64bit - explaining not quite knowing where to post my query...
As this is my first Vista-experience, I'm even unsure how it's supposed to be.
When, in my opinion, the problem occurs, the signal to the monitor will be lost, but all fans/lights will stay on. Pressing the resetbutton does nothing, and I have to press and hold the powerbutton to restart, making the system (sometimes) continue windows - though slowly..
Hopefully this problem is not as complicated and confusing as this post might seem, and someone is able to help me?
Thanks...

Think I finally figured it out after somewhat extensive searching. Found an article; "Vista Tutorial: Power Options and Sleep Mode Problems" which has a step-by-step guide.

Turned out to be a mixture of hardware and software problem. I disabled my mouse and keyboard that was configured to wake the system.

Anyways; looks good now =)
