Bottom line up front, my computer produces different results in sleep mode, depending on if I initiate putting the system to sleep versus following the configured power plan.
1) When I manually put the computer to sleep (Start > Power > Sleep), I can observe that my display shuts off immediately and all case/cpu fans, LED's, and peripheral USB devices shut off within about 10 seconds. This is my expected result.
3) When I let me computer go to sleep after idling for 5 minutes (advanced power settings listed below) based on the power settings, I observe that my display shuts off immediately, but NONE of my case/cpu fans, LEDs, or peripheral USB devices shut off, regardless of time passed. Even an hour later, all these devices remain powered. This is not my expected result.
-------------ADVANCED POWER SETTINGS--------------
Hard Disk:
- Turn off hard disk after: 1 Minute
Sleep:
- Sleep after: 5 Minutes
- Allow hybrid sleep: On
- Hibernate after: 1 Minute
- Allow wake timers: Enable
USB Settings:
- USB selective suspend setting: Enabled (Have also tried Disabled)
PCI Express:
- Link State Power Management: Moderate power savings
Processor Power Management:
- Minimum Processor Rate: 5%
- System cooling policy: Passive (Have also tried Enabled)
- Maximum processor state: 100%
When I press the power button: Sleep

What needs to be configured to allow Windows to sleep with the same desired result as manually selecting the option in the Start menu?
