Hey everyone! I'm having trouble with my Windows 11 PC when it comes to sleep mode. Whenever I try to put my PC to sleep, only the monitor, keyboard, and mouse turn off, but the main unit stays on. The RGB lights on the PC and fans are still running, and I end up having to force shut it down by holding the power button since the regular power button doesn't respond. I'm not sure why this is happening. Also, when I leave it on standby, it randomly shuts down by itself. This issue just started recently, and I'm wondering if it could be due to a new app I installed. I have Armoury Crate for RGB control and I've also downloaded a few cracked games from the internet, although those sites claim they're safe. My specs are: ROG Strix B550 F Gaming WiFi 2, RTX 4070 Ti Super, R7 5700X, and 16 GB of Fury RAM, all running on Windows 11 64-bit.

It's pretty common for some RGB components like RAM to stay lit while in sleep mode since they're actually still powered on. But if the other RGB lights are staying on, it might be a setting in your BIOS that needs adjusting. I'd check your UEFI settings to see if there's an option related to power states for RGB lighting.
No problem! Good luck with that; hopefully, it helps!
Yeah, I remember my RGB strips used to turn off completely, so it definitely seems like a setting issue. Let me know what you find out!
