Hi all!

My Alu Macbook has a very annoying issue. If it has external monitor connected to it, Macbook will never sleep if left unused. Manually hitting :apple:-> Sleep would put the machine to sleep and immediately wake again.

- With external monitor disconnected it sleeps just fine.
- The issue is random and may or may not occur. Meaning that it may not sleep as described, restart and it sleeps fine. Use computer for a bit and it will not sleep again.
- I have tried unplugging everything and switching Bluetooth and Wi-Fi off.
- Have all software updates.

Did anyone came across anything similar?

Update:
Had a look in the system log just not and it has this:
Apr 2 22:22:57 yy-macbook kernel[0]: sleep
Apr 2 22:22:57 yy-macbook kernel[0]: Wake reason = OHC2
Apr 2 22:22:57 yy-macbook kernel[0]: System Wake

I presume it is that OHC2. What is it anyway?
