Lenovo Y410p running Windows 8. It goes to sleep by itself, randomly, about 2-3 times a week. I've been over all the power options, nothing there sticks out as a cause. I have the power button set as putting the laptop to sleep. The laptop is connected to my monitor, and it stays under my desk, lid down, 24/7.
At first I thought it was Auto Hot Key causing this, because I had recently set a keyboard shortcut for the laptop to go to sleep, but I disabled that and the problem still persists. Is there any way to find out exactly what is causing this issue?

remove all the power options that set your laptop to sleep .. set them to do nothing and monitor if it happens again ... if it still happens ... run a malwarebytes scan ....
