My computer for the last few years does not successfully enter sleep. For some reason, the monitors, keyboard, and other resources will seemingly shut off, but the computer light will stay on without flashing. It looks like it's still on. My first instinct is that something is preventing it from sleeping, but the question then is what and why? Here's a copy of my specs according to Speccy:
[code]Operating System
Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
CPU
Intel Core i5 2300 @ 2.80GHz 39 °C
Sandy Bridge 32nm Technology
RAM

Optical Drives

Audio
Realtek High Definition Audio[/code]
Googling around, I found that the first step was to update drivers. That never really helped - the problem would always persist in spite of installing applicable drivers. As it stands, I already have the NVIDIA and audio drivers installed, and the other stuff I included don't seem to have any.
The next thing is to look at my power consumption:
[code]C:\WINDOWS\system32>powercfg -requests
DISPLAY:
None.
SYSTEM:
None.
AWAYMODE:
None.
EXECUTION:
None.
PERFBOOST:
None.[/code]
[code]C:\WINDOWS\system32>powercfg -lastwake
Wake History Count - 0[/code]
The wake history count will increment upwards by one if I manually shut the computer down with the power button if it doesn't fully enter sleep and power it back on. In fact, powering it back on seems to do the trick, like the only thing the computer forgets to do is actually do the sleep equivalent of shutting down.

I would take a look at the BIOS, but I would have no idea what to look for. Any ideas?
Power Policy:Sleep timeout is disabled (Plugged In)
The computer is not configured to automatically sleep after a period of inactivity.
???
Yeah - I push the sleep button myself.
Are all the fans etc off?
The light might just stay on when in sleepmode on your pc.
