Computer always goes into mode 'sleep' even if I chose to never sleep
Original title: the power settings
When I go into power settings and put the computer to sleep, I choose NEVER. The reason why I have some backups that take a long time. However my computer always goes into the mode after a certain time. I've been through this several times. How can I fix it? Thank you
Hello
Make sure that you are logged as an ADMINISTRATOR to make changes to the power (sleep) or others.
Are you sure that you have those established in all Power Options? (There may be more than one).
Check the change Plan settings - change advanced power settings
Check the change when the computer sleeps
Is - that go to sleep or is the active screen saver?
Right click on the Desktop - Customize - screen saver.

computer randomly goes into mode 'sleep' when typing
I have a new Acer Aspire 4820 t running windows 7 Home premium. I have a problem with the computer will randomly in mode 'sleep'. This seems to happen especially while I'm via remote desktop, although not entirely. The computer does not heat and I turned off "sleep" mode completely or at least thought I have.
I can be typing at the moment then actually use the keyboard. Incidentally, this is the second computer, it happens that I sent the first back thinking it was a hardware problem.
Any help would be appreciated
Dear Mike,
Try this by the solution of the box. It worked for me:Dear mn2rgorillaz,
I am a computer repair technician, and suddenly one day I started having the same problem, 12/09/2011 in fact. I tried everything, reboot the computer, the bios flashing, change all settings to never sleep and none of them worked. I always had the same problem with my computer go to sleep in the middle of my typing, all random, of course, I could type a paragraph or a letter and PAF suddenly that he would go to sleep. I was very frustrated, I sat for an hour and has thought of everything that had happened that day to try to understand what it might have been. I didn't think the worst (bad mother). It took me a little bit, but it finally hit me. I bought this pretty new braclet that day, one of those magnetic which is supposed to help with arthritis and carpol tunnel syndrome.
As a computer tech, I felt really good because as all of us in the field will tell you computers + magnet = cloudy. I do not think that anything of it when I bought and had already forgotten that I was wearing it. Bingo, it took off about 10 minutes ago and I was seized as a crazy for woman. No problem what so ever. Just thought I'd throw it out there in case you might just wear the said kind of braclet.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LARGE Leah, I think you nailed!
My acer as3810T started with this mysterious behavior also and I have also updated the BIOS, update of office, ran several optimizers system, etc that does not.
Now that you mentioned the magnets. I hurt my hand and my mother recommended to put a few small magnets the base of my thumb which should have the effect of acupuncture without needles.
Now I type with one hand (the one with no magnets) and of course the PC never sleeps in the middle of the sentence.
Great shot! That's what I call thinking out of the box! I'd never get one. Thank you so much for sharing your insight.
Cheers from the Brazil

Lose my ethernet internet connection when the computer goes into mode 'sleep '.
I have a desktop with Windows Vista. I have my internet through a cable company. I've never had problems of connectivity for 2 years and then out of no where he would pass the signal after mode 'sleep'. I had the cable company come out and check on all equipment and it's good that now, I'm still clueless and confused. The connection icon have an exclamation point in a yellow triangle and say "limited connectivity" and «identify...» "and then I click on Local area connection status and make a diagnostic test that will get me connected to"network 2 "until it goes into sleep mode and then the process repeats. It's boring say the least. When I login and go to the LAKE State he says;
IPv4 connectivity: Internet
IPv6 connectivity: limited
Media state: enabled
Duration:
Speed: 100.0 Mbps
He said that the issue is resolved after each diagnostic test, but then it happens again. I need some help pleaseeee!
> I need some help pleaseeee!
But you're in the wrong group! It is a problem with your network driver
or your Windows installation. You have this repost to a suitable for Windows Vista
Forum. It is possible that a newer driver from the network has a problem with sleep
mode, you should try another pilot (older or newer).
From your description, there is a problem to renew the lease of your
DHCP server (which must be running on your router), it does not use the
IP address assigned earlier or he does not do / IP address (which
should be the same) we get the router. It is also possible that the
problem is with the router or a new firmware on this subject. You should study
These two avenues, including a replacement of the router and firmware.
Another very simple solution is to configure your PC for a static IP number and
leave it like that. In the forum, I mentioned, people will be able to talk to you
through this option if you don't know how to do this.--

Why my computer constantly goes into hibernation?
Hi all ~
Recently, I noticed that my computer goes into hibernation by itself when not used for a period of time. I confirmed that my power settings dictate this behavior so that plugged in or on battery power.Instances that I noticed this, mainly, in mode "sleep" overnight and although slow, act as a "wireless card" for my personal router.When this happens, it is not hot or lack of power, he is simply there. I can't find a scheduled task so it hibernates, or an action to be left in standby mode or has been inactive for a while.I am really confused and would like if someone could provide an answer, or make me on the right track at least!Please help, because it becomes very annoying.Thank you-Crip.Summary and things to know:My computer into hibernation by itself, is not a scheduled task so it hibernates, it is not any form of action in my settings to be able to dictate the hibernation, it hibernates generally with more than 90% of battery remaining power and is never hot when it enters this mode.My computer is a portable set of bridge NOT running Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium OS.Hello Richter,

Disk defragmentation. will take place every week at 01:00. Computer is in "standby" at that time. Is this why disk frag does not happen every week? When I defragment manually I have to confirm the status of administrator... it would have something to do with it? I use Windows 7 Home Premium.
Hello Lauren,
Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forum.
You did it any significant hardware or change software on the computer before this problem?
I understand that disk defragmentation does not work as expected. When this works even if your computer is in "sleep". Therefore, I would suggest trying the following steps and check if the problem persists.
Method 1:
Step 1: Check if the Disk Defragmenter service is running.
a. click Start and type services.msc in the search box.
(b) in the Services window, double-click the Disk Defragmenter service.
c. check if the Disk Defragmenter service is set to Automatic Started .Step 2: The question may arise also because of the intervention of third-party software. So, I suggest clean boot of the system and check if the scheduled defragmentation works.
How to perform a clean boot in Windows
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135Note: See "how to reset the computer to start normally after a boot minimum troubleshooting" to prepare the computer to start as usual after a repair. "
Method 2:
Try to set the Defragmenter to wake up the computer from the mode "sleep" and check if it works.
- Click Start, type taskschd.msc and press enter.
- In the left pane, click the arrow next to the Task Scheduler Library, Microsoftand Windows to expand the folders.
- Click the defrag folder.
- In the center pane, right-click on ScheduledDefrag and click Properties.
- Click the general tab.
- Check the box run with the highest privileges .
- Click the Conditions tab.
- Check the box to enable the computer to run this task and click OK.
- Close Task Scheduler.
Check if the Defragmenter works to wake up the computer from the mode "sleep" as expected.
If Disk Defragmenter does not at all, then we can see the post from Bill R TechSpec responded on 19 May 2011 in the following thread.
Hope this information is useful. If the problem still persists, please post back for further assistance, we will be happy to help you.
