Windows takes 5-10 mins to go to sleep

Personally, I'd re-install the display driver before devoting any effort to fault-finding this symptom.

Even if you have the latest version, it might have become corrupt and there is no diagnostic test so reinstallation is the only way of addressing this potential problem.
In Windows 7, Windows Help suggested this as one of the standard measures when there was a sleep-related problem.

I cannot say that that the display adapter is definitely the cause of your problem, merely that it is a possibility that needs to be confirmed / eliminated.
Using Device manager to update the driver is not sufficient. It just looks for version numbers-dates not driver integrity.

- If your display card was part of the computer when you bought it, get the driver from the computer maker
- If you bought the display card separately, get the driver from the display card maker

It would not hurt to check for any updated Bios as well.

Hi @TheViper

How does the computer perform otherwise? Looking at your computer specs, they don’t look like the type that’d take that long to sleep

i don't think this has anything to do with the monitor/gpu drivers, the monitor works as intended with immediately shutting down it's the pc that takes a while to go to sleep, and i changed my drivers in the time i started having this problem and nothing changed

Although everything seems to be alright, it might not be. Here’s a link to the drivers for your graphics card:

Take a trace so that we can see what the system is doing during the 5-10 min.

Here is a tutorial on how todownload, install and use the recorder:

use the following parameters when recording the trace:
