With some motherboards if you move the mouse at all it will wake the system

I used to have a similar problem. It was because home sharing was turned on and that can prevent sleep.

when i get back from work ill have a look and see, the thing is after a couple hours it puts itself to sleep but when i do it, it refuses to menace

this is the command to put it to sleep: rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState 0,1,0

 

 

make sure you set this too: powercfg -hibernate off

 

 

for it to go to sleep instead of hibernating, I would guess it would be a software that it running in the background or in the bios you set it to wake the PC via lan

Sing it a song. might help it get to sleep.

my command line was actually just what your PC should be doing when you send it to go to sleep and that it actually goes to sleep means, that something is waking it up like a software notification

ah, i see, might be my logitech G930, but it's all just speculation at this point

I have this issue aswell! however it only does it sometimes. tell me what you find, but i think i like the idea of media sharing, as it was doing it less when i got my WHS up and running

[mk005]

I have the same issue, I have to close display fusion and steam to sleep mine.

@OP

 

your computer is probably suffering from insomnia.  All you have to do is give it Lunesta which will make

it sleep like a baby with minimal side effects.
