I bought my computer one and a half year ago, and everytime I put it to sleep it does for a few minutes, but then turn back on. I tried to uninstall some applications and configure sleeping settings at the control panel, but it hasn't changed anything. Can anyone give me some help?

Thanks!

depending on your settings, activating human interface devices may wake it such as pressing a key on the keyboard or moving/clicking the mouse as I know some mice are a bit odd having a mind of their own and move when not touched, you could try disabling the computer to be allowed to woken by mice and keyboards, I believe they are in the settings for it :)
