I have tried to manually create the hibernation partition on the SSD and install Intel Rapid Start program but it didnt work. I then tried using the Gigabyte EZ-Setup utility to set it up but again it didnt work.
What happens is that the computer will go to sleep but will turn back on by itself. Then I thought it might be something wrong with the Intel Rapid Start software so I uninstalled it and removed the hibernation partition and then tried the normal sleep but again the computer would not stay in sleep and will wake up by itselft. To isolate the issue, I set the power button to put the computer in sleep and then disconnected all the devices, even keyboard mouse, from USB and left only the monitor (on DVI) and the power cable. I pressed the power button and the computer went to sleep and then came up again by itself. I then tried to google it and then tried all the suggestion out there. If anyone has any other suggestions, I will try them and post the results here. Below are the results for what I have already tried (I might have missed some of the thing but can perform again if suggest:
