How do you put the window 7 system to sleep what happens when you do?

To put the system to sleep, click on Start then click the little > arrow next to where it says 'Shut down' - and select 'Sleep'. That puts the computer into sleep mode.All it does, is put the computer into a 'low-power state' - by switching off the display, and powering-down the hard drive. It keeps power going to the motherboard, which monitors the keyboard and mouse. If it detects either a key-press or movement from the mouse, it wakes the computer up, and (if set) prompts for the user password.

My Dell computer will not do anythingIf you press the brightness buttons it says in sleep mode move mouse or press button on keyboard but that doesnt workAny Suggestions?

If it is stuck in sleep mode just restart the computer by pressing the power button for 5-10 seconds. Then when the computer starts up make sure to go to your power options in control panel and disable all the sleep options. This wont fix the sleep problem but will prevent your computer from going into sleep in the first place. Commonly sleep issues occur when there is a program running that doesn't agree with being put in sleep mode and causes windows to crash.
