Looks like your BIOS revision

Looks like your BIOS revision is out of date. The latest for your board is 1401 released July 1 2010.

Go to the download tab and download the latest BIOS to flash your board: http://ca.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=yQYfAtkxxZMjR79G

i keep my PC up to date yes.
i think my BIOS is from 2008, cant remember, its a P5N-D with a E8400.
some people have told me that if i have any crash issues etc. then i shall update my BIOS.

i have had this system for 2-3 years now, and it have done the same thing every time.

"Pressing Sleep"
"Taking hads of mouse and keyboard"
"Screen goes to Sleep / Turns black"
... and the PC just shuts off for 0.5 sec.

the lights in the pc just flashes one time.

Make sure you mouse is set to power off and not wake the computer, and same thing with your internet LAN card. Also check your BIOS for any "Wake" settings.
