I've been having issues lately with my computer "randomly" sleeping - I feel, however, that it's not so random.

Currently I'm running an Asus G73JH, Pre-Sandy Bridge i7, 12GB RAM.

The event log entry for the issue is as follows - and the main thing I'm wondering is what "Reason: 4" translates to.

I've most recently noticed this happening while playing Borderlands 2, but there doesn't seem to be a specific trigger during gameplay.

Originally, the computer was hibernating; however, when I disabled hibernation with powercfg, it started going to sleep, instead.

I have my system set to never sleep, never turn the hard disk off, etc. - all the typical fixes using Power Options. The issue, however, continues.
