    Thanks a lot.
    I was confused because I expected to find a "power management" field and there is none in my F.45 Bios version (contrary to me, the notebook does not want to go to sleep mode).

    The option is relevant only if you are running an operating system prior to windows 2000....otherwise its an ACPI compliant BIOS which allows the os to manage the hardware. If the notebook doesnt go to sleep mode, it can be a hardware driver setting or a software hook preventing it.
