Sleep Mode

Last response: in Windows 7
Share

I have gone to many forums and other sites asking similar questions, but none seem to give a solution to my problem.
I don't know if I changed anything, but Windows 7 x64 Home Premium won't sleep. I have tried fiddling around with the power settings but still the problem persists.

Rig:
ASUS P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3
Intel Core i7 2600k @4.4GHz
8GB RAM (XMP)
Variety of HDDs (none are set to wake computer)

please explain further. wont sleep or wont wake up?

I have seen several instances of motherboard settings preventing the wake-up/sleep. have you updated the BIOS and checked for issues with your board

BIOS is updated to the latest firmware (unknown, but just did a BIOS update check), and it won't sleep. I click sleep and the monitor turns off, then immediately turns on again to the desktop. The fans in the computer don't turn off or even slow down.

I know you probably prefer sleep (I do) but any luck with hibernate? wondering if its an issue suspending things, or sleep itself.

What if you set if to sleep on a timer and are no where near it

Hibernate does not work either, same issue. There is no sleep timer set, and I have set one in the past to try and resolve the issue, when the timer is reached, it does the same thing, except the monitor stays off, but all the components stay running.

Restarts and shuts off fine, anti-virus reported no serious threats, although I will try another scan without network.
