I'll keep it simple.
It's an Asus G75VW-BBK5 I got in November of 2012 (refurbished) running Windows 8.1 x64.
It always plays coy with shutting down/sleeping. Whether I am closing the lid, shutting down/sleeping from the menu/tapping the power button, it will always log off, give me the message that it is restarting/sleeping/shuttingdown in the center of the screen for a few seconds, turn off the screen, and then continue to run, such that if I tap a key or use the touchpad, it will instantly turn on the screen and give me a logon prompt as if I had never turned it off (but only logged off).
The only way to shut it down is to hold the powerbutton for a few seconds or remove the battery while it is unplugged.
Other than this, I can't complain of any outstanding issues.
I have attached the diagnostics usually requested for a BSOD troubleshoot.
If I remember correctly, you can ignore the dump file. That was from a BSOD caused by the secondary SSD being jarred loose when I wasn't gentle enough with it.
Other than this issue, there is no problem this laptop. I have, of course, run powercfg -requests to see if any processes were causing it. Nothing showed up.
Can anyone advise how to get it to start shutting down/sleeping properly? I'm getting tired of finding it still running in my backpack an hour or two after I packed up. Sometimes I will only know that something is wrong when the backpack is hot or when I see it show up in my list of active computers on Teamviewer when I am using a different computer.
