Win 7 will not sleep

[boredstiff]

Hi, My computer wont go to sleep. I can set it to sleep manually and all is fine but it never falls to sleep on its own. I checked the power settings. Everything looks right. Any ideas


PS the display shuts off at the right time always but the computer never sleeps at the specified time.

Thanks

check your driver settings for the USB and network devices, they sometimes prevent it from going/staying asleep.

I checked. I don't know what to look for but everything seems normal. I am thinking about reloading windows although this is a fresh install.

I would check the 'sharing media' section as well as the PCI Express (link state power management)

Media sharing is disabled. Link State Power Management is off.

I think I found the problem. I got the rest of the optional windows updates except for the language pack and all is good.

EDIT : nope it stopped going to sleep again. WTF. I have never had this problem before. I googled it and tried the various different suggestions and fixes that resolved others sleeping issues but no go.
