Hey everyone!
Okay, so I built my computer last spring (specs in my sig) and everything works perfectly... The only gripe I have is that the PC won't go into sleep mode automatically. I have it set to go to sleep after 30 minutes and the screen to turn off after 10, but it won't go to sleep by itself. The screen does turn off on time, and it stays in Sleep if I do it manually, but it just won't do it automatically. It just sits there with the screen off and all my peripherals on...
Ok. So I've been using the default Balanced Plan, and it still won't go to sleep by itself... I even set it to go to sleep after one minute and nothing... 😞 It just turns off the screen and waits there, and it just goes back to the lock screen if I move my mouse.
I'm using just the plain-old default Balanced plan, I just set it to go to sleep after one minute in order to see if it just won't go to sleep at all (which is the case), or if it goes to sleep and then wakes up without having to stare at my idle desktop for 30 minutes... 😛 As far as the BIOS, I only changed my Memory timings from 1333 to 2133 using the D.O.C.P. profile on the RAM.
Make sure you do not have a WIFI or LAn that is constantly pining your board, that will prevent it from sleeping. Also sleep only happens when there is no activity. And frankly even for test purposes I would suggest just leaving the default power setting as is.
To help us help you - please provide as much information about your system and the problem as possible.
I don't have WiFi on the CVF-Z so that's definitely not the problem. As far as pinging, my mom's Win7 desktop is connected to the same router and it goes to sleep fine.... I also made sure that my network adapter isn't allowed to wake my computer, which isn't the problem anyway since it saty "asleep" fine if I do it manually. It jst won't go to sleep by itself... 😞
I'll stay on the "Balanced" plan anyway, but it's still rather annoying... 😞
