The rig in my sig is not going to sleep reliably according to the parameters I have set in Windows Power Options. Occasionally it will enter sleep mode but most of the time just the monitor turns off. I've checked for any background activities that might be keeping it from entering sleep mode but found none.
I can reliably put it to sleep manually by choosing that option with the Wndows 10 Start button option which this afternoon I did. After I did that and woke it back up it started to work according to the parameters I have set in Windows Options. I noticed that when I put it in sleep mode manually with the Windows Start button there was an audible "click" noise that sounded like it was coming from the PSU. Not sure if this is normal or not but I don't get that click noise on my other rigs. They just silently enter sleep.
So my question is, is there a switch of some kind in the PSU that might be hanging up sometimes and not responding to the sleep signal from the motherboard?
