Problem with sleep mode.

Hi. I bought a new power supply recently and ever since then my computer no longer goes into sleep mode. I can click it manually but it's just nice to have it go to sleep automatically. I checked in power options and it says "Put computer to sleep after 20 minutes" but doesn't work. Any idea's?

Go into device manager and select network adapters. Find your network adapter, then once you select that go to power options and uncheck "Wake on magic packet" and the other options below it. It could be your network adapter that's waking up your PC.

I had this problem recently but when I'd put it to sleep manually it would still wake up. This was the solution.

Thanks but unfortunately "Only allow magic packet to wake the computer" was already unchecked =\
