Are sleep state troubles likely in 64bit environment apparently incurred by PCI express? I have set the following card in my desktop PC up.

PCI-Express x1-bus 56k Fax Modem AKBP-56K-PCIE

By booting Windows up, the OS did recognize this card and installed its own driver described below automatically.

Modems: AGERE PCI-SV92EX Soft Modem
Driver Provider: Microsoft
Driver Date: 11/11/2008
Driver Version: 2.2.89.3
Digital Signer: Microsoft Windows

The "Add a New Device" window didn't show through this process. After installing the card, the PC cannot stay in sleep state longer than 3 seconds. Also hibernation can last only 8 seconds. My PC resume is:

M/B: Asus H170-Pro
CPU: Core i7 6700 3.4GHz
OS: Windows 10 64bit Home
SSD: Samsung 950 Pro M.2 NVMe
HDD: WD Blue 2TB 5400rpm
TV Tuner: PIX-DT460 PCI Express x1
Keyboard and Mouse: via each PS/2 port

The seller ECLINK Amazon branch told me that the card should support up to Windows 8. My present Windows settings are:

Device Manager -> Properties of Modem ->
 [ ] (off checked) Allow this device to wake the computer

Control Panel -> Power Options -> Change plan settings
-> Change advanced plan settings
 Sleep -> Allow wake timers -> Setting: Disable
 PCI Express -> Link State Power Management ->
  Setting: Maximum power savings (others didn't help)
 Multimedia settings
  When sharing media -> Setting: Allow the computer to sleep
  When playing video -> Setting: Optimize power savings

My present M/B settings are:

UEFI BIOS -> Advanced Mode(F7) -> Advanced -> APM Configuration
 ErP Ready Disabled
 Restore AC Power Loss Power Off
 Power On By PS/2 Keyboard Disabled
 Power On By PS/2 Mouse Disabled
 Power On By PCI-E/PCI Disabled
 Power On By Ring Disabled
 Power On By RTC Disabled

I have tried changing the ErP Ready setting to [Enable(S4+S5)] and then [Enable(S5)], each without success. The work of the fax modem itself is quite stable. I can send faxes any time without failure. Must I dismiss the fax modem when I insist on sleep state? Afterwards I tried attached driver CD and Windows told "Could not find the MODEM device for this driver" or "The best driver software for your device is already installed".
