Same here, I have seen a few problems too many due to the various power saving schemes that are supposed to work together, yet don't always do so. The first thing I do with a new PC is go into CMOS/BIOS and disable any and all power saving options. Then I go into Windows and kill all power saving options, including hibernation. Most of the time I also kill Screen Savers, first because they are an outdated excuse for something to code (later CRTs did not suffer screen burn-in/etching as badly as older CRTs, and LCDs do not suffer screen burn-in at all), second because it is a waste of overhead monitoring when to kick in and out of Screen Saver mode, and third because I find it annoying. But in some cases Screen Savers with password protection are needed to help ensure privacy of data when a person leaves his/her desk.
