When I close my laptop lid (sleep: blinking power light) and put it in bag, it heats up too much. I found out that this is because CPU, GPU and Harddisk are still running when the laptop is in sleep mode and the air ventilation is not good.
How can I put CPU and GPU into idle states when my laptop is in sleep mode?
When I'm running Windows, it is ok to put the laptop in a bag while it's in sleep mode because the CPU and GPU are in idle state; even system fans are not running.
Is it possible to stop CPU and GPU running in sleep mode on Ubuntu?
- Ubuntu version : 16.04.
- CPU : i3 6100U
- GPU : Nvidia GT 940MX

I think Suspending your system keeps parts on, like you said. That is the default for Ubuntu. Windows, on the other hand, uses Hibernate by default. Try using Hibernate instead
