Might be a weird question but, does your psu have a ground connection? If you do live in lithuania, you should have that. It's the metal pin on the power cord, if that doesn't do anything, that might be the issue. If you feel electricity when you touch the psu when it's powered on, you don't have it. And please fix it, it's quite dangerous if that's the case...

Not really sure what kind of metal pin it is, but electricity doesn't flow trough PSU, it's fine when I touch it.

I don't really recommend sleep mode...having the monitor turn off is really all you need

when you won't be using the pc for a long while..like when sleeping..it should probably be off

Well, it's not really possible all the time. Sometimes you just leave thinking "I'll be right back" and come back only few hours later. It even runs till 3am from time to time, even if no one is around. So working sleep mode isn't bad thing

Try the balanced plan, maybe that solves it.

this is probably a bios problem..usually I find problems with sleep mode are usually a driver interacting with the hardware causing a issue

the problem is finding out what driver is the prob

1..update bios and set to defaults..other then changing the boot order

2..delete all self installed drivers...reboot..reinstall newest drivers from the websites

I often use station drivers for the newest one since they always list the newest..however those drivers are often betas as well..and might cause other  weird issues

also try checking your admin log files for possible errors
