Sleep mode issue

My problem is that when I put my computer on sleep mode it "wakes" up by itself a second later. I believe that it maybe either a vista or a hardware issue because I have the same configuration that I had on my previous xp computer. Any suggestions? thanks in advanced.

Vista seems to have a lot of issues with sleep mode, particularly the S3 mode. If you do a Google search, you might find a solution. Also, you could download the latest service pack for Vista-that might help.
