Sleep mode does not work on my MacPro3.1 with OS X 10.10.3. The Monitors go black, but the machine it self and all the periphery (USB Hub, SSD Drives, 3D Connexion device, etc) is still working for ever. I set it to go to sleep after 15 min, but it´s not working.
Mac Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

Thank you very much indeed Sir!
It is now working.
However, I think I have to investigate it a little bit further since it did´t worked offline on the first try. I had the impression that there was some program tying to do it´s thing but needed an internet connexion for it. I´m afraid I have some kind of malware on my system.
What is the best way to search for malware (trojan, virus, etc) on a Mac?
Is there a way to let Apple search for it?
Thanks again and thanks in advance :-)
Thank you very much for the great information!
Now I have to do my homework😕

Your problem has nothing to do with malware, so there is no need to search. The "user tip" linked earlier is about 50% computer-illiterate nonsense.
Thank you!
This is all quite confusing.
