When I try to put my computer to sleep, the monitor will stay asleep, but the computer comes back on almost instantly I have tried changing all the setting I can, in power settings. It doesn't make any difference how I try to put it to sleep it just comes right back on. When it is set to go to sleep after so long a time, it still comes back on.
I am running a HP Pavillion. Model a6712F.. Processor Pentium (R) Dual Core CPU E5200@2.50GHz 2500Mhz,2 Core(s) 2 logical Processors
I do not know how long it has been doing this, I just recently tried putting it to sleep, maybe month ago, and discovered it will not stay asleep. I usually just turned it off. The computer is a couple years old now.

Thanks Leona D

I don't have the choice of Hybernate, or Hybrid Hibernate in my power settings for sleep.
I just recently ran MalwareBytes and SuperAntiSpyware and it was clean. I am printing off the instructions you sent me and will see if I can do any thing with them.. Thanks so much for your help.

Ok will give it a try thanks!! will let you know how it turns out.

I think that step four and/or five is your solution.

I have my problem solved.. Just had to keep going through the list till I found the problem.. I found that the Problem was in the Network Adapter, under the Realtek PCle GBE Family controller.. It was set to wake my computer... I guess it was the DSL that was waking it.. I want to thank you again for your help.. Now I can sleep again. ..
