Computer won't go to sleep

I recently bought a G7 Logitech mouse and now I'm having trouble putting my computer into sleep mode.
Before, when I pressed sleep, the computer would pretty much turn off and pressing another button would turn it back on.
However, now, when I press sleep mode, the screen goes black, the computer shuts the hard drives off, but the fan stays on. Like 2 seconds later, the hard drives just starts up again and the computer comes back on.
OR
It will go to the black screen, hard drive shuts down, but the fan stays on. It does this one much more frequently.
Any solution guys?

Failing that, you could do the "nuke it from orbit" solution: reformat your hard drive and reinstall Windows. I can personally verify that this will fix the problem.
I'm assuming you're running XP or later. Open Control Panel and go to Power Options. Under the Advanced tab, there should be an entry for "When I press the sleep button on my computer" or something similar, with a dropdown of actions to choose from. Make sure that's set to Sleep and not Hibernate or whatever the fuck Microsoft calls it these days.
