Inspect your charger and power cable for any signs of damage. Why does my computer keep going to sleep while IвЂ™m playing games? Check your battery and charger So, letвЂ™s see how you can get rid of the problem. It will stay asleep for days and only wakes when I start it.Is there anything more annoying than watching your laptop go into sleep mode by itself while youвЂ™re playing your favorite games? Such unexpected events can ruin all the fun. When it either goes to sleep or I put it to sleep, it stays asleep until I wake it. Again, itвЂ™s not something waking the computer. There have been some suggestions that maybe the mouse get moved or is too sensitive. At this point, both computers periodically go to sleep at their set times, but 80% of the time I have to PUT them to sleep. Went back to using the Samsung SSDвЂ™s in both machines.

That kind of led me to believe that there was something not right with the Samsung SSDвЂ™s. This computer went to sleep at the set time. I moved this hard drive into the first computer that had the original SSD. I began to think it had something to do with the Samsung SSDвЂ™s, so I put the original hard drive back in and sleep worked fine. This new SSD wound up doing the same thing as the SSD in my first computer, would not go to sleep without going to power/sleep.

I cloned this new Samsung SSD from the first computer and installed in the second computer. My second computer had a regular hard drive and I decided to switch to an SSD. This problem started on my computer with a Samsung SSD, although it had been going to sleep at the set time. Win10 is supposed to be a new operating system, but it is still a shell over DOS. After all this time, DOS commands still do more than anything in terms of diagnosis. Thanks for any ideas and I hope the article helps with figuring out what is waking your machine. Anyone here have an idea? You CAN stop the machine from waking, or find out what is waking it through this article. What I want to know is if it is okay to leave it disabled (not allowed to wake the machine) or not. I have an extended warranty on this machine, HP isnвЂ™t providing live chat, so you have to call them, IвЂ™ve been on hold for nearly four hours (horrible music). What IвЂ™m annoyed about now is that I ran powercfg /devicequery wake_armed, found the device was gone (there could be other issues according to the article but mine was immediate), so the problem is solved, but the article suggests finding a new drive. I followed the suggestions to disable it and the problem disappeared. I ran the powercfg /lastwake command and found that it what woke it was Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller. I have an elevated command prompt on my desktop (some thing Fred Langa suggested years ago, maybe from the old Langlist). I found an article online that explained what might be happening. IвЂ™d put the machine to sleep and itвЂ™d wake right back up.

I did NOT install the May updates yet, but this started happening to me this week. If I put the the computers to sleep with the power/sleep button, they stay asleep until wake them with the mouse.ДЄgain, this computer had the same sleep settings for years and worked fine until a couple of months ago. I have disabled all wake timers, but itвЂ™s not something that is waking the computers, they just donвЂ™t go to sleep in the first place. Both computers are ASUS M4A88-TD3вЂ™s and now have the same problem. tried to solve the problem remotely originally and it worked for about a day.

I donвЂ™t know if this is a problem that started with a Microsoft Update or not. I got tired of fighting this problem, so I cloned the SSD to another new SSD and put it into one of the other identical computers. Sleep works as it should for several days and then I have to put it to sleep with the power button in the start menu. old and they all went to sleep until a couple of months ago.
