I have an Acer Aspire V5. Only the screen goes to sleep according to sleep settings.

When the time has elapsed for my sleep settings, only the display goes to sleep.  The computer and the keyboard lights stay on.  Computer will go to sleep when I hit FN/F4, but because the automatic sleep settings don't work, my computer often stays on for long periods of time and can get very warm.

It sounds like there might be a power setting that needs adjusting. Typically each power plan will have an option to change plan settings.

 

1. Click Change advanced power settings.
2. Scroll down to Sleep.
3. Click the "+" to expand the options.
4. Click the "+" next to Sleep after to expand the options.

There are going to be two options, On Battery and Plugged in. Depending on your power plan the default settings will be different, but go ahead and adjust them for both as you choose.
