This issue has come and gone at random times with this computer. It's a Toshiba Satellite laptop, and it will not stay asleep. Any way I tell it to sleep, it will sleep for 1-2 seconds, then wake right back up. Also, when I tell the computer to shut down, it starts right back up. The latter I can deal with...but being a college student, my laptop needs to be able to sleep as much as i do. Things I have done:
-Unplugged EVERYTHING from the computer before trying to put it to sleep
-Disabled ethernet/lan devices
-Prevented ALL devices from waking the machine, both in device manager and in bios
-Prevented ALL services I can think of from waking the machine
If I open up a command prompt and enter powercfg -lastwake, the computer states that it was woken up but has 0 wake source count.
If I look at the event viewer, 3 events are listed in this order every time I try to sleep:
1. The system is entering sleep. (Source: Kernel-Power)
2. The system time has changed to yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss.500000000Z (note: the 500000000Z is consistent) from yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss.xxxxxxx00Z. (Source: Kernel-General)
3. The system has resumed from sleep. Wake source: Unknown. (Source: Power-Troubleshooter)
I may be crazy but it seems to me like the only possible thing that could be waking it would be the system time changing.
As stated in the opening, this has happened a few times. When I first got this laptop almost a year ago, it had no such problems. About a month into owning it, this all started to occur. I couldn't figure out how to fix it, so I resigned to holding down the power button to turn it off whenever I had to leave the computer. One day, for no reason, it stopped doing it. Some time later, it started again, but only if the power cord was attached. Then it stopped altogether, only to resume again over the summer, and it hasn't gone away since. I have made no hardware changes to this machine, I have not changed the BIOS since it was last working properly, I have not installed any new software since it was last working properly, and between the time it wasn't doing this and when it started again, there were no Windows updates installed.
I have scoured the internet, tried literally everything I could find to no avail. Anyone got anything for me?
