Gigabyte Z87N-Wifi instantly wakes after going to sleep

Hi all,
First I wanna thank all for the great forum. I have built a great mac based upon your guides and recommendations.
It's based on a gigabyte Z87N-WIFI main board with a haswell cpu and a GTX660. I'm using Mavericks 10.9.1 and everything works except sleep. It's not the normal sleep issue which I often read about. I try to describe what's happening:

- pressing sleep
- displays going blank
- after 10 seconds the mac turns off
- 1 or 2 seconds later, it wakes up
- up and running ... everything is working after the wake up

As far as I can read from the logs, I think a USB device is waking the mac. But what can I do?

It's build with Unibeast+Multibeast (DSDT free) and BIOS is configured according to the guide from this forum. Anyone know what's happening here or how I can solve this?

thanks in advance

Hi Gaia,

I think that your motherboard has 'Wake on Lan' enabled which sounds like what is happening. Boot into UEFI/Bios and disable that feature. Sleep should then work much better.

it is already disabled. To make sure I have unchecked "wake for Ethernet network access" in System Preferences/Energy Saver. But no change in state ...

Does anyone have a tip in which log I can check what prevents my Mac from staying in sleep? I'm missing the sleep feature

in terminal pmset -g assertions 0 no sleep issues 1 issue it will tell what the problem is

Hi, I have the same problem, and i have read somewhere that this problem could be caused by the bluetooth chip or a usb peripheral, so I would suggest taking out the wifi card to see if it changes something (I haven't had the time to try this) and sleeping without any usb peripheral. A dsdt could solve those issues too...

Hi, this is the output of "pmset -g assertions". Seems nothing is preventing it from staying sleep. Also tried removing USB devices or changed to other USB ports.

have u taken out the non supported intel wifi that may be your issue

Intel wifi isn't the cause of the wake, can confirm after having tried without it today...

I know this is old but just in case someone else needs the info

Change timeout in Chameleon.boot.plist from 2 to 6.. worked for me
