Why won't my system sleep?

C

Chris Mitchell

Whenever I try to get my system to sleep it does so for a few seconds then
kicks back into life.

I suspect there is something running that wakes it up but what?

What are the typical things that will cause this and how can I stop it/them?

TIA.

Chris.

"wake on".
Some Bios settings allow wake on lan, wake on mouse or such. Check
there first.

Definitely follow Big_Al's advice first.

If the problem persists you may have a failing power supply.
