Hi,

Ive recently began using my gaming PC again, and its great, but theres one small problem.

Every hour or so of playing, the computer will randomly go to sleep, I can wake it easily, with no problems, but it is extremely irritating, as it causes me to die.

I haven't changed anything since ive last used it(several months ago), except update drivers. Temperatures are also fine on the GPU(50-60) range.

Whats wrong?

well then it should... it is strange, it seems the OS was looking at a game like multimedia sharing(like movie, video)... you can also look and see what was the times res to (40 minutes, an hour)... that is why it always goes to sleep at exactly the same time...

did you manage to fix it?

I've been thinking, try to completely block sleep, hibernate in the power options (do it for all the power plans)... if that doesnt help, then its not that... gonna think again
