Sleep Problems - Strange wake up behaviors
So I have recently installed a new motherboard (and fresh install of Windows 10 Pro x64) and have been having strange sleep behavior since. My computer is set to go to sleep after 1hr and my keyboard/mouse fail to wake the computer back up and seem to be not receiving power in general. So when I press the power button on my tower, the fans start up, etc, but my monitors don't wake up, my KB and mouse still do not receive power and are unresponsive.
To get my computer to wake back up, I have to hold the power button down until my computer "turns off" and when I power the computer back on, it boots back up into Windows as if it were coming out of sleep, and not a fresh boot (all of my processes/programs are still running, etc.)
At first I thought this was a BIOS issue, but I have tweaked BIOS settings and cannot seem to get anything to work, and so I feel like maybe it's a setting in power-saver, etc.
For reference, my motherboard is an MSI Z170A M3 (1151). I can see that there are a ton of sleep-related issues with Windows 10, but couldn't find a thread specifically pertaining to my issue.
Thanks!
