Sounds to me there is no graphics drivers installed, Windows will refuse to go to sleep if it's using the default "Microsoft" generic graphics drivers.

Would a mod kindly shorten this post please?

Why use sleep? I've used hibernate for a number of years and my sleep deprivation disappeared. Takes slightly longer to turn on, but it is also safer than sleep as it saves all your RAM contents. I've had similar issues with sleep where the PC would randomly turn on. No issues at all with hibernation.

Try unplugging all of your USB devices and then see if it sleeps, or run the powercfg report again.

It's clearly saying one of your USB devices is preventing it from sleeping:

"USB Suspend:USB Device not Entering Suspend

The USB device did not enter the Suspend state. Processor power management may be prevented if a USB device does not enter the Suspend state when not in use."

Mine wouldnt sleep\hibernate due to a wireless MS keyboard and mouse. Unplugged the receiver and it works fine.

If plugged in it goes to sleep but then wakes again within seconds.

Sounds like a BIOS issue, not an OS issue. There might be an option in the BIOS to keep USB power on while the PC is turned off. If that is the case try disabling the option. Or disable the BIOS option to wake up from a USB device.

hi guys when we unplug all usb devices the machine still will not sleep and the powercfg report says that the usb hubs are stopping it from sleeping, i know that the usb ports on my board have the option to be powered when the system is off but we have that disabled in the bios and have been threw the bios options with gigabyte who confirmed that we have it configured correctly so were lost were thinking that the only option is to return the board and get a asus because a mate of ours has a asus h55 board and is not having any issues with it what do you guys think

I think the problem is that your keyboard has lost it's punctuation and shift keys. The forum T&C asks that people format their posts. It is the second time in one thread that you are not using formatting.

Have you checked for a BIOS and driver update? Could be an issue that is now fixed.

Try working your way though this doco. Forget what you think you know and do each step in turn. Has never failed to resolve sleep issues with my PC's.

Not offended, just makes it hard to read so you are less likely to get help when people can;t be bothered figuring out what you say.

Computer Lounge is moving to Mt Wellington (500m from my work!) so they might be a bit busy at the moment, and closed. Friends have found them to have a high level of technical skill, so you might just have to visit them. But if the problem turns out to be your software config then be aware that you'll probably have to pay for their time (just like any other business).

Ironically you seem to have cursed me ;-) After years of sleeping correctly for the last few days my MC has started to be a bit of an insomniac. Will have to look into what is going on.

For me turned out to be system/srvnet which has been a issue before for me too. It supposedly is an other computer on the network requesting for the MC to stay awake. As it has done this before I decided this time to just disable wake on srvnet. Hopefully that does not cause different issues.

Also I just read though the report that you got form powercfg and noticed that is had:
Platform Power Management Capabilities:System firmware (BIOS) does not support S3.

The hardware in this computer does not support the S3 sleep state.

This is not good. S3 is what we normally refer to as sleep. Some bio's have an option to have S1 or S3 sleep (or auto). Might be worth checking that it is not set to S1.
