the update BIOS solution works like a charm. It instantaneously solved this problem which bothered me for a month. it occurred even after a failed 1511 update.
Hi guys. As a fellow Asus user ROG G551JW, I had this exact same problem which was A MASSIVE PAIN.
Thankfully I managed to solve it by myself through a bit of tweaking.
Go to Control Panel > System and Security > Power Options > Change plan settings (for either Balanced and Power saver, whatever you're on currently) > Change advanced power settings > there will be a power options pop up.
Scroll down until you find "Sleep" and expand > Allow hybrid sleep (expand)
It was at this moment I figured out that the hybrid sleep settings for both balanced AND power saver were turned OFF, which was ridiculous. Turn both settings ON and click OK or APPLY. I put my computer to sleep right after and it worked as it obviously should have.
It might've been that when I bought it brand new just recently, settings were not optimized (accidentally?)
Anyways just a heads up for those experiencing this same problem and came across this forum.
If that didn't work then I suggest the BIOS update as mentioned in the above posts.

Hey y'all. I'm having this same problem with my Asus Q302LA, but on the Asus page it doesn't have an updated version of the BIOS. Only 1 BIOS is available, the same one that is currently installed on my computer. What do you think I should do?
Reflash it, just like the others did. Follow up on the guide posted above.
Good luck!

WOOOOOOOOW YEAH
I checked into the Bios issue but I have a rather new Asus X550J and there has not been any bios update in ages. I did follow the instructions and BANG - IT WORKS! Thanks, you are a genius!
Troubleshooting suggestions only:
Right click at Start button > select Command Prompt (Admin) > at the flashing prompt, copy/paste this.....
dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
> press Enter.
Again, it will take some time. When finished it will give you a report.
If it says operation successful, go see if everything is now working ok.
Thanks, this worked for me!!

did you upgrade the bios? did you downgrade the bios? if these two didn't work, I suggest re-flashing the same bios, basically "updating" the bios but using the exact same version. When I tried downgrading it, the issue came back after a day.. then I upgraded to the previous version again and never had a problem since. good luck!

Hi Guys,
I had updated my laptop BIOS from 305 to 307 version and recently I came across this issue which was very very annoying. I tried everything because I didn't want to reset my OS.
after reading this, I re-installed the previous version of BIOS which is 306 and it worked perfectly.
I have an ASUS F550LD.
Just wanted to say if you have still the issue try this way.
Thanks

WORKS!!!
Thanks a lot. Been looking for and fiddling with all sorts of settings, but somehow overlooked that one.
I made an account especially for the credit I feel I owe you. Also, let's hope more people can get by with this solution, instead of going through the BIOS. Thanks to those who came with a guide, of course.
I guess my recent windows update made certain settings disagree with each other. Glad this could be solved the 'normal', interfaced kind of way. Cheers to you.
I have also this problem, tried what you recommended and got this result. can you suggest what I can do with the error please?
You! I like YOU!
Finally a solution that works after hours of reading "Gee, you should check your power management settings.", even after you explicitly mentioned that you already tried that.. It's the thought that counts I guess, but that "solution" is repeated so often that it eclipses the actual troubleshooting.
Anyhow, thanks a lot!
So, after experiencing this issue myself for quite some time on my Asus g751jy, I did a lot of forum crawling, and one guy was able to fix his issue by updating his bios. Now, if you have an Asus laptop I can tell you they have a program on their support sites called WinFlash that makes updating the bios super easy once you download the proper bios for your model. For me, the bios version I had was 210, and I updated to 211 which fixed a system hangup error.
I can't give you a link to where your bios file will be since I don't know your exact model, but I can link WinFlash and the area you can find your laptop should you have an Asus machine and know your model.
Asus Support: www.asus.com/support
You will need to know your computer's model, found by typing "System" (without the quotes) into the windows search. You will want the one with only System, not System Information, although this works too it's not too user-friendly, it will be under the area labeled System
WinFlash: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/nb...301.zip?_ga=1.243329989.1109140822.1462273138
WinFlash's download is also hosted on the support site under BIOS-UTILITIES once you have found the support page for your model.
If you don't have an Asus and are uncomfortable flashing the BIOS, what I can recommend is you find a local PC-Repair shop and asking them to update or flash the BIOS for you. This should hopefully solve the problem.
Hopefully this helps!

FIXED THE LITTLE BEGGAR!
I have had this problem for several weeks on a Dell XPS desktop. What was particularly annoying was that I have a second older desktop computer running Windows 10, which I use at the same time as the Dell. This second computer was running without problems and since it has had the same windows updates as the Dell, that seemed to rule updates out as the culprit. I tried faffing around with power settings which of course made no difference, nor did flashing the bios. I was looking at Task Manager about an unrelated matter and clicked on the Services tab. There, sitting almost at the top of the list, was an entry called "Adaptive Sleep Service". Ahaa thinks I, could this be it! At the bottom of the services tab I clicked on "Open Services" (you will need to be logged on as Administrator) and the "Services (local)" list opened. I noted that the description was AMD Adaptive Sleep Service which meant it was to do with my video card. I right clicked on Adaptive Sleep Service, clicked on Properties, hit the drop down box for startup type and selected "Disabled". Voila - fixed - no more shutting down when sleeping!
Hope this might help others

Hi, I'm using the Asus G551JM. Where do I find the bios file to flash? I can't find it at the Asus support page
I have a ROG G501JW and found this http://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1016000/
It worked for me!

So how do I install Winflash? The link just takes me to asus support page and I don't know to find Winflash in that screen. I tried to search "Winflash" in google but it seemed i had a wrong Winflash and the CMD was not to find it ...
edit: Or rather: which version of Winflash should I use? I have X550J that apparently has Winflash 3.01 pre-intalled. When I do that nodate-thing in the CMD Winflash does not get fooled and tells me that I can't install and older bios
