Solved Win 7 64Bit not going to sleep all the time.

[HAVOC]

I have a Microsoft wireless keyboard and mouse (Wireless Desktop 800). Would the little USB adapter thing for that cause an issue?

Havoc,

I do not know the answer to your question. I was simply trying to point you at some resources/approaches that have worked for me in the past. If yu truly suspect the keyboard, find a spare (not wireless) one, plug it in, remove the wireless one, and see what happens.

 

[HAVOC]

Change to wired keyboard/mouse did nothing.
After a little poking aroung on google and looking in Device Manager I found that my errors are related to "Intel(R) ICH10 Family USB Enhanced Host Controller - 3A3*

I'm going to search on my motherboard (EVGA) forum and see if I can locate something.

Hello HAVOC,

There are a couple of other things you could try. Make sure usb selective suspend in advanced power options is set to enable. Also look a link state power management. What is that set to?

What other devices do you have attached?

 

[HAVOC]

I messed up a little. I downloaded what I thought were updated USB drivers. Totally messed up my nVidia display surround. Nothing I tried would fix it (Restore never works for me).

I did a clean install of the OS. Lets see if the problem is fixed or not.

Ran powercfg and had the same errors.

USB selective suspend is enabled. What's "link state power management"?

 

[HAVOC]

Found link state power management. It's set to moderate power savings.

I canged the setting in BIOS from S1(POS) to S3(STR)

Now clicking on "Sleep" in the Shut down menu puts the computer to sleep. I also had "hibernate" in the menu but it's no longer there.

 

[DavidE]

For Hibernate to be listed in the Shut Down list
Hibernate must be enabled and Hybrid sleep must be disabled

You can disable Hybrid sleep in Power Options / Advanced settings

Link state power management is to do with how power is supplied to pci express cards. I have mine set to off.

 

[HAVOC]

I changed a couple of settings in the BIOS and now the computer goes to sleep normally.
ACPI Suspend Type - S3(STR)
USB KB Wake-up from S3 - Enabled

These aren't the default settings. It would always sleep with the default settings but for some reason is doesn't anymore. I did have a weird shut-down a week and a half ago. Was using the comp and it just shut off. Can't remember but some kernel power error or something like that. Took a couple reboots for the computer to work again. Not sure if that had an effect on anything or not. I also changed the computer to sleep after 15 minutes instead of 30. 30 minutes is excessive.

Thanks to everyone for their help.

Less errors, but it works so I'm happy.

Platform Power Management Capabilities:Supported Sleep States
Sleep states allow the computer to enter low-power modes after a period of inactivity. The S3 sleep state is the default sleep state for Windows platforms. The S3 sleep state consumes only enough power to preserve memory contents and allow the computer to resume working quickly. Very few platforms support the S1 or S2 Sleep states.

I don't use sleep much on my pc. I tend to use hibernate more, even though most people will tell you it's more for laptops. Does take longer to wake up though.
