Hello all. Long time reader first time poster. My system specs are updated. My power setting quit working a few days ago. No matter were I set sleep mode or power monitor down, it never does. Not sure why? I've performed an sfc/scannow with no errors. Nothing has really changed in my system recently except my vid card driver. I can't say that caused it, but I rolled it back just in case with no change. Any ideas?

There are several ways to find what the problem is. The best is to go into event viewer (type eventvwr in search). Go to the windows log>application tab.
You want to look for critical errors (they have red in the left column ).
When you find them you want to look for critical errors that say app hang, app crash, or anything that relates to the problem.
When you find them please note the event ID, and the source codes and tell us what they are.
Let us know if you need help with any of this.

Thanks Ken. I took a look, and the only critical error occurred on 7/30 for "
The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first". This I'm aware of, as I shut the system down due to a hang. I looked through other logs and couldn't find anything I'd say related.

System Restore to a point before the problem occurred.
Try a custom plan and make sure that Link state management for PCI is set to off.
I installed a new gaming mouse, a Razer Deathadder. I thought that may have been it. So I un-installed the software and tried my old trusty Logitech, no change. That's the only USB device I have installed. The keyboard is PS2.
I've also considered rolling back my system restore, but hate to do that unless I'm left with no other answer. Thanks so far gents.
