PC is going to sleep despite power settings being set as Never/Never

Rob,

1 I suggest you run this command to provide further info on your sleep state capabilities.

Code:

PowerCfg -a

2 Check what is happening in Event viewer. Unzip this file then import its files into Event viewer using the control on the right, Import Custom view [you'll be asked to give each view a name and I suggest using the names I gave the files]. You have to import each one singly.
EventViewer.zip
- It is always difficult to know what is significant in Event viewer results but, in general, read the General pane for whatever details it gives when sleep occurs and also when wakeup occurs because that might give further info on the sleep event itself.
- Note also that waking from hibernate is only identified in the Details pane [the tab next to the General pane] by values greater than zero for these entries: HiberWriteDuration, HiberReadDuration, HiberPagesWritten
- I included the Start, shutdowns Custom view just in case either of those is happening at around the same times.
- When I find specific entries that seem significant, I also run NirSoft's FullEventLogView because that makes it easy to see everything in chronological order enabling the events before & after the event of interest to be considered.

Rob,

OK. Glad things were explainable.
