Stand-by not working please help

I set my power options to "sleep" when closing the lid which it does initially. However, within 2-5 minutes after being in stand-by, it turns on again. This really is a problem for my computer because it's a gaming laptop that produces a lot of heat as is, and with the lid down only intensifies that heat, which is definitely a problem. Does anyone no the cause of this malfunction? Thanks.

I looked into that and both of my network adapters are unchecked with it comes to the wake up option. I'll try to research some more. Thanks by the way too!
