PC wont go sleep, is stuck on black screen

Can anyone help, for the last week I cant go into the sleep mode, the monitor will shut off, but the PC and keyboard is still lighted up. Cant wake it up either, I just have to turn it off manually via holding the power button. Anyone know a thing about this issue?

I've got the same thing with mine. PC power light is on, not flashing. Screens stay black. Doesn't respond to pings.

Im getting something similar. After a while my desktop flickers and then crashes i get a black screen but if I have any programs in the foreground I can use them as long as I dont minimise them or I cant get them back.

A full restart fixes this for a bit but it keeps on happening

EDIT: ok so i found out my problem is if i play any video on a browser for some unknown reason gonna open a new ticket for that

Got says that it's something related to the GPU not shutting down correctly, and the rgb header. But that's only a theory

Here's what I found on another thread and rolling back actually helped!!!
@Tank-1 Sorry for the delay, but yes, still seeing the issue on 42.20250916.1. Had to roll back to 42.20250903 for sleep to work again.

Yeah, I don't know what's up with this but for now staying on 42.20250903 is the only way to keep sleep from working as intended on my desktop. I do have an HTPC with the latest updates and I have no problems with sleep there so I am at a loss as to what could be the issue. What are your specs?
