Update the firmware before you go down a rabbit hole. Updated firmware has solved all my power issues except one. And consider, the power functions are contained in the ACPI tables, and the tables are updated as part of the firmware update. Once the firmware is up-to-date, then move on to troubleshooting the kernel, drivers and userland programs (if the problem still exists). The "except one" for me is an Intel NUC that acts mostly the same way that you are describing. I finally gave up and took it off the network. I believe the NUC has a bad motherboard or controller, but I don't have the skill to diagnose it. Hardware hacking is not my area of expertise. Jeff
