Ok, I have a weird one.
My computer is not sleeping properly. Up until yesterday morning when my computer would go to sleep the hard drives would spin down and park, screens turn off and all my case fans power down. Now (no changes to the system) the fans never turn off and all case lights stay on. The hard drives still spin down though.
If I wasn't sleeping next to the thing (and paying electricity) I wouldn't be so concerned. I have tried new chipset, lan (originally i was able to get the issue to stop by unplugging LAN before sleeping) audio and video drivers. I have even updated BIOS. Thinking that it may be a virus ( I had left a web page up that previous night) I have scanned the computer but everything comes clean.
Just shutting down/hibernating is not an option as the computer needs to be in sleep/fully operational for TV to record and my automatic backups to work.
Anyone have any ideas?
