then CHECK MARK the box that will allow the device to turn off to save power. What you COULD do however is look through your devices in device manager and right click on them and if there is a ANY power management options after the right click. I generally will ONLY shut it down if i will be away from it for a while (working for the day or going out of town for a few days ) and then power it back up and leave it on until the next time I will be away from it for an extended period of time. Mind you, I don't utilize the 'sleep option' on my computer. ( no matter whether you have AMD or INTEL processor) by this being 'unticked' the device WILL NOT turn off even if you put the computer to sleep. You mentioned : Untick 'Allow computer to turn off this device to save power'
