    My computer's "Sleep after X" sleep is deeper than manual sleep


    With Sleep after X minutes, all fans shut down. A mouse click or key press is required to wake the system. This is ideal.


    When I manually sleep via the start menu, fans stay on and mouse movement wakes the system.


    powercfg -a lists this:


    Standby (S3)
    Hibernate
    Fast Startup


    Automatic hibernation is off, only sleep is on in power settings.


    I'm on 16299



    So, my question is, how do I manually put my computer into this deeper sleep state?

    :)

    When computers sleep..

    Some of the older 775 boards don't sleep so well. Try manually putting it to sleep and see what happens. The mouse or keyboard may be keeping it awake. Of course check your sleep settings

    Computer Wakes Up From Sleep And Goes Back To Sleep?

    Hmm, lazy computer! *Roll Eyes My computer's "Sleep after X" sleep is deeper than manual sleep :rolleyes:

    Sorry for that stupid line, I couldn't resist. *Frown My computer's "Sleep after X" sleep is deeper than manual sleep :(

    Maybe you have something configured to sleep when idle. Check that on your power settings.

    No sleep on SSD but sleep HDD ?

    Hi guyz, the question is not exactly for me but for few friends. My main computer only have SSDs and my HTPC run 24/7 for few things like torrent so it never sleep HDD btw.

    The main thing is about TRIM and/or garbage collection. Its usually better not to sleep your SSD to let the trim/GC do its job but if you ask windows to sleep or not the hard disk, windows seems to do it for every drive in the system so you end up never sleeping your HDD if you dont want to sleep your SSD. If they do nothing, HDD are better to sleep IMO.

    Pics of the thing.

    If you guyz have an idea or a tweaking that allow HDD sleeping but leave the SSD awake to let the TRIM/GC do its job, ill appreciate it ! ( mostly my friends *Smile My computer's "Sleep after X" sleep is deeper than manual sleep :) )
