Dell Precision T3600 Win7 Sleep Problem - keeps waking up from sleep by itself

Question

I recently bought a Precision T3600 workstation. It's running Windows 7. I installed a Samsung Evo SSD on an Apricorn Solo Velocity X2 PCI card. As recommended on many SSD optimization posts, I turned off hibernation. When I try to put this workstation in sleep/standby mode, it wakes up by itself a few seconds later. I can't get this PC to stay in sleep mode. It's not the keyboard or mouse because I was using the same USB keyboard and mouse on an older WinXP system and that worked fine in sleep/standby mode. Any ideas what could be wrong?

Hi Atulkc, This is normally caused by an uncooperative device. There are plenty of articles on how to troubleshoot sleep problems such as this one. I would try that first.
