PC turning off when trying to wake from the Power Button (SOME TIMES)

[Azurael]

I have always had my comuter set to wake when I hit the power button as I could never get it to wake up from the Keyboard. Last Saturday I updated my Z790 MAG Tomahawk WiFi's BIOS from 7D91vHE to 7D91vHG and the Firmware to ME_16.1.35.2557. Now there have been 3 instances where I hit the power button to wake the computer up and it turns off. This is the only major change I have made to my PC before this started happening.

 

The three time it occured were times where I had the PC in sleep mode for a several hours. Last night I tested shorter durations a couple seconds, couple minutes, half and hour all those times hitting the power button brought it right back up. I checked the BIOS settings and did not see anything I could DEFINITELY say would have changed to cause this, but I am not very well versed in BIOS settings.

 

Does anyone know what could be causing the issue? 

 

Additionally can anyone tell me what I need to do to get the PC to wake from Keyboard inputs? Despite having Device manager set to allow it nothing ever happens.

 

If it helps the fill system specs are in the drop down under this post and on my profile page.

What do you have set in BIOS?


^ enable that if you haven't already.

* Personal opinion:
PCs and software nowadays are plenty fast, no need to use sleep at all.
You work should be saved before you let it go to sleep anyway, at which point you might as well shut it down, as starting everything back up takes like 2-3 minutes.
Starting from a clean slate after a shutdown can offer improved stability and performance compared to resuming from a potentially dirty system state.

No it does not. Has not for a long time.

 

I am not home at the moment to work on things, but I can check things or change settings when I get home. So, just leave me recomendations in responces thanks.

While that is true I like being able to have my PC pop right up that way I don't have to wait for background start up stuff to complete. Additionally my PC is for gaming thus I have to start up steam Discord and depending if I am streaming other programs too. So I prefer to just put it to sleep as reopening all of them takes more time. I do a deliberate restart once per week anyways just to have a clean boot.
