Computer won't sleep

I built my computer about 1 year ago and it worked perfectly at first, but about 2 months ago it just won't let me sleep it. If I do it does go to sleep with the blinking light, but when i turn it back on it just shows a black screen. To get out of this I typically press the restart button on the case and it's like I turned it off and on.

Being able to sleep my computer would be great for my lifestyle and I can't seem to figure out why it is happening. Thanks!

 

Build:

MB: MSI 970A SLI Krait Edition

CPU: AMD fx8350

GPU: MSI 1070 Aero

RAM: 16gb

HHD: WD 1Tb

What's your OS?

Want to know which mobo to get?

Spoiler

Choose whatever you need. Any more, you're wasting your money. Any less, and you don't get the features you need.

 

Only you know what you need to do with your computer, so nobody's really qualified to answer this question except for you.

Software software software.

Please spend as much time writing your question, as you want me to spend responding to it.  Take some time, and explain your issue, please!
