It could be a program that is running. I would start looking at
programs that you have installed. see what ones run processes and
disable them one at a time see if you can track down what it is. It
could also be a driver problem. I'm not sure if power settings are
active in Safe Mode, but try it and see if sleep occurs in Safe Mode.
If it does, it is probably a driver preventing it.
