Hey guys, not sure if this is the correct part of the site but it seemed applicable.

I've been having this minorly annoying problem for a while now and finally decided to track it down. When I put my PC (in signature) to sleep, it does, everything goes off, LEDs go dark, etc. Within a couple seconds, however, it wakes right back up. After looking around a little, I went into command prompt and used -powercfg lastwake to figure out what turned it back on. This was my result:

Code:
C:\Users\Me>powercfg lastwake
Wake History Count - 1
Wake History [0]
  Wake Source Count - 1
  Wake Source [0]
    Type: Device
    Instance Path: PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8168&SUBSYS_84321043&REV_06\4&28b85f88&0&00A9
    Friendly Name:
    Description: Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller
    Manufacturer: Realtek

I only have one PCI device, which is my graphics card, so I'm assuming this is the issue. I am on the lastest GeForce Experience and Driver. Any insight?

Thanks
 
*facepalm* I guess if I'd just googled GBE Controller I would've gotten that. Anyway, thanks for answering my stupid question, fixed it right away.
