I had found the diag. "powercfg -requests" and it came back with: "System: [DRIVER] \FileSystem\srvnet An active remote client has recently sent requests to this machine". Youtube, Microsoft forums, and other forums say they found the "silver bullet", but nothing has effected the predicted outcome of it waking immediately! Windows 7 32-bit SP1, 4Gb, 500GbHDD Thanks for any suggestions that might have worked for you! Ben
I ran the command string: "powercfg -requestsoverride DRIVER \FileSystem\srvnet" which achieved this from powercfg -requests: Display=none, System=none, Awaymode=none. I also updated the graphics driver from Intel (G41). And it still comes out of sleep within a few seconds!
I finally settled for "S1 (POS) setting in the BIOS...S3 worked before??? S1 you still have power to CPU, RAM, and HDD...so not much sleeping is going on!
Go to Computer Managament -> Local Users and Groups -> Users Delete every user on the list except Administrator, Guest and your account and restart.
Don't forget a network connection can wake up a computer. I've had that happen to me a couple of times during the night, and wondered why my system was on the next morning
