So I have a "Frankenstein" pc that has been giving me problems ever since I fresh installed windows on an ssd. The system uses a Lenovo m91p mobo, i5 2500s cpu, 5 gigs of ram (all have the same clock speed, all of it is kingston memory), gtx 580, Sandisk 64gb ssd (an older one), a pcie to USB 3 card and two ancient seagate barracuda 120gb hard drives running striped together. The problem I have been having is with the sleep/wake function not working (once my keyboard backlight goes out I can not wake up the system) and more often than not when I shut down the PC the fans are all still running after the OS shuts down and I have to manually power it down. I have checked for literally every diver possible from both intel and lenovo and I can not seem to remedy the problem. This problem has only existed after I moved from a mechanical HDD OS disk to a SSD OS disk.

I had an issue like that, spent a month and a half trying to figure out the issue, well 2 weeks trying to figure out the issue (OS was corrupted) and a month futilely trying to fix it. Ended up doing a clean install and it didn't come back

Yeah, I have probably reinstalled the os (from a fresh install iso each time) about 4 times, nothing has worked. I have also tried the refresh option as well and that did nothing. This problem only showed up when I installed the ssd which originally had the system image from the HDD on it. In the "disk manager" it shows up as a basic hard disk, not a solid state disk. Is this a problem? I made sure I am running a AHCI and my bios is the most current revision.

Update: just reinstalled windows 10 from scratch and still have the "no wake" and "no shutdown" problem. I think my system is trying to wait for the SSD to spin down and that may be causing the problem. Is there any way to tell the system that the C drive is an SSD or is that more of a bios problem?
