Well the reason could be very simple : your PC is set to go to sleep when you dont do anything on it for some period of time..Go to `Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Power Options\Edit Plan Settings` and check your settings.

Every 10mins eh, you really need to cut down on the smoking.

Check: Control panel > Power options > Change selected plan, then put the computer to sleep never.
