I had been posting in a different thread about display freezing, but I figure that this is a different issue even though it may appear to the display that is draining the battery.

So, here is my problem. Whenever I allow my Venue 11 Pro i5/128 GB/64-bit/Office 2013 go to sleep (power button, timeout, or close the lid on my mobile keyboard), it appears that the system goes to sleep - display turns black. However, when I open it back up, I end up seeing that 3-6% battery per hour is depleted. That seems way too much. If I power it off instead, almost 0% is depleted by the next time.

I started with the .3316 display driver and I have attempted to upgrade to .3345, but it doesn't seem to help. I also have checked the BIOS - "A05". I am more than willing to run whatever test is necessary to diagnosis, just not sure what to try. Below is a "powercfg /sleepstudy" of the most recent sleep cycle. As you can see, the Intel Graphics Family Device is 100% active during a connected sleep cycle.

Also, I have noted that occasionally, the fan will turn on while it is asleep - I know this thing can't be that power hungry. Can anybody help?
