Windows 10: Computer goes to sleep while I am playing a videogame. Never happened until yesterday.

Did something change with some Windows update? Idk why, maybe its the CoD update, but my laptop randomly goes into sleep mode while I am playing the game. Not to be confused with letting it sit idle, either way it shouldn't go to sleep during a game, but it does it While playing. It has never done this ever and its really weird. It's not due to temps either, GPU temp is 75-76C max, CPU is about 82-86C max.

Computer goes to sleep when idle.

Since I have installed Windows 7 my computer goes to sleep everytime it idle's. Like earlier today, I was installing WoW and I went to go watch a movie and came back and my computer was off, I powered it on and it resumed installing.

And just now, I was watching TV came back and my computer was off and when I powered it on it BSOD.

Is there a setting where I can turn this off? Because this never happend in Vista, and this started happening yesterday when I installed Windows 7.

Computer Wakes Up From Sleep And Goes Back To Sleep?

Hmm, lazy computer! *Roll Eyes

Sorry for that stupid line, I couldn't resist. *Frown

Maybe you have something configured to sleep when idle. Check that on your power settings.
