If a laptop, then you may have a failing charger or a failing battery; if a desktop, it might be a failing power supply. Those are my first thoughts when presented with those symptoms.
When the machine sleeps/hibernates does it close down gracefully or just switch off suddenly. Are you literally working on it, i.e. using the mouse or keyboard, at the very moment it sleeps?
Q
It is a desk top. I purchased a new power supply about 3 months ago due to another problem. When it suts down it switches off suddenly. For example when it has shut down I was atempting to down load music in one instance and in another I was transfering data to a eternal hard drive. During each instance I did not have my hands on controls but was watching the activity of the tasks I was performing
