Wireless mouse & keyboard changes way PC goes into Sleep mode
Hello
I am a first time poster here and I'm afraid I will have to go into a lot of detail's in order to explain what is happening. What I want to be able to do is use a wireless mouse & keyboard on my computer and have it go into Sleep mode when it is suppose to. The computer is a HP 1360t, running Win. 7 Home Premium with a ASUS VN247H monitor.
In Power Options I have these settings:
Turn OFF Display after 5 mins.
Put Computer to Sleep in 10 mins.
In Advanced settings:
Hard Drive OFF in 15 mins.
Sleep after 10mins.
Hybrid Sleep OFF
Hibernate Never
Turn OFF Display 5 mins.
When I have a wired mouse & keyboard hooked up to the PC everything work's perfectly. Start a test at 10:00 with the monitor screen showing my Desktop. At 10:05 the screen will fade to black for 5 to 10 seconds,than it will come back up and the screen will be a solid blue color with a small black dialog box in it's center that reads "HDMI1 No Signal". Than the screen will fade to black again and it stays OFF. The little white ON lite along bottom right hand corner of monitor turns amber. At 10:10 the computer goes into Sleep mode and I have looked in the Event Viewer and verified that the computer is in Sleep mode. If I change the settings to Turn Off the Display in 10 mins. and go to Sleep in 15 mins. everything goes down right when it is suppose to.
Now I hook up a new Logitech wireless mouse & keyboard and still using the same settings as above, this is what happens. Start test at 10:00. At 10:05 the screen fades to black, than it comes back up blue in color and with the same dialog box in it, than fades to black again, than it comes back up showing my Desktop and stays up. At 10:10 it goes thru the same sequence of events but this time when the screen fades to black for the second time it stays Off. Than at 10:15 the computer goes into Sleep mode right on time. Same thing happens if I change settings to Turn Off the Display in 10 mins. and go to Sleep in 15 mins. For some reason the computer cannot turn the Display Off and keep it Off on it's first attempt and because of this, every thing is set back 5 mins. from when it is suppose to happen.
With the wireless mouse & keyboard still hooked up, I change the settings to Turn Display Off in 2 or 3 mins. and Sleep in 5 mins.. Believe it or not but every thing goes down right on time and the computer is in Sleep mode in 5 mins. I would like to be able to use either the 5 & 10 min. or the 10 & 15 min. settings over this setting.
Things I have tried:
1. Tried a different monitor. No change
2. Moved the wireless adapter that plugs into computer to different USB ports on both the back and top of computer. No change
3. Used another new Logitech wireless mouse & keyboard. No change
I have looked at the tutorial on the Tutorial Forum that lists things to try when troubleshooting this type of problem but I am not sure what I should try next. Is there a setting some place that I need to change to fix this? Any and all suggestions are very much appreciated and I thank you in advance.
