Forced sleep mode mid game...

[FluxxUK]

I have sleep mode off I've checked all my power settings with a friend who doesn't have this problem and still I get sleep mode popping up and shutting my pc off without any ways of recovery I have to manually turn it off and on again... help? 🙁

Are you your system isn't overheating and shutting off or having PSU issues when the load gets too high.

How do you know it's sleep more and not somethingelse.

I had the problem before but it stopped so I ruled out outheating, I just thought it would be screen res, I use a tv and another which is a standard sized monitor, I thought it could be the graphics not complying with the screen res, is it possible (I don't know much about pc components sorry) 😛

Do you have a backup battery (UPS) plugged up to system by chance? I've seen before if you have the USB or serial cable attached that small fluctuations in power will sometimes have it trigger a sleep mode. If not, sounds like you might have a hardware issue. I'd try replacing the power supply first.

No I don't, I will try replacing my power supply then.
