Desktop reboots itself on sleep or hibernate

Solution 1:

The problem is that your mouse or your keyboard automatically wakes up your computer when you want to put it in sleep. To disable this behaviour go to Device Manager, choose your mouse / keyboard and disable something like "This device can wake the computer up." This worked for me. :)

Solution 2:

For me, it usually ends up being network devices and WOL, even when that feature is disabled in the BIOS.

In your device manager, make sure you uncheck "This device can wake the computer up" as KovBal said, for your network cards.

Solution 3:

1. After updating BIOS load set up defaults from the BIOS menu
2. Install the latest power management drivers from ASUS
3. Make sure ACPI is set up correctly in the BIOS
4. Check event viewer to see if there are any events that can be correlated to this problem
5. Check under "System properties" -> "Startup and Recovery" that it does not automatically restart. In case you have something that brakes during hibernation/standby that causes an automatic reboot.

I hope you manage to fix it!

Solution 4:

I have had similar problems on machines myself. It may be worth checking in the BIOS that all the 'Wake On' settings are turned off. My machines would wake up when I did not want them to because either a mouse would wiggle a fraction, or some packet on the LAN got intercepted.

You may have another problem, but until you are sure I'd disable all 'Wake On' options you can find.
