I need to find out how to set a program to run in windows 8 when it enters sleep mode.

According to NIST and ECRYPT II, the cryptographic algorithms used in Bitcoin are expected to be strong until at least 2030. (After that, it will not be too difficult to transition to different algorithms.)

My understanding is that getting a program to run in sleep mode is a contradiction.  Sleep mode is the mode in which programs to not run.  DRAM refresh is reduced to the bare minimum and the CPU is deactivated until a hardware signal awakens it.

If you meant "when it leaves sleep mode", you'll need to have a program that watches for the SystemEvents.PowerModeChanged event, and then triggers whatever you need to do.  Such a utility may already exist.

You are correct, I just disabled sleep mode and set it to turn off the screen only.

that still uses electricity for the monitor; it just sends a blank signal
It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

It works fine for bitcoin mining for me, I don't have to deal that much with electricity.
