    Well it's been about 2 weeks now that I don't have any real sleep mode, I noticed some other people on this forum have too. Sleep is still there but it does like under desktops, it only turns the screen off. The computer itself stays on.This is kinda annoying because if I close my laptop's lid, it's gonna melt....

    On my c90s, it seems like it will stay on, but eventually goes to sleep. Look at the hybrid sleep function in the power profile settings.

    Hmm I can't seem to find it. That is the XP function, no?

    I got it in sleep mode the other day but it would wake up if the mouse moved.

    go to power options --> change plan settings --> change advanced settings. Then find Multimedia Settings --> When sharing media --> Set "Allow the computer to sleep"

    Check if you didn't have it disabled.
