Entering Sleep mode?
Hi!
Does anyone know why my computer goes into sleep mode whenever I am playing a game? Sometimes I can play for 5 minutes or 40 minutes before it shuts down and the last time it happened was for like 10 minutes ago when I was playing NWN, it is to say the least very annouying...
I have a Fujitsu Siemens Pentium (R) 4 CPU 3.40 GHz with 1,00 GB RAM...

Whats your video card and whats your power supply (how many watts, and brand if you know it).
Any malware, viruses, spyware, etc? (They can cause weird stuff like this to happen if they are programmed that way).
Have you checked your power settings in windows (under screensaver tab in display...which can be accessed by right clicking on desktop and clicking properties).
Though I dont see what settings could cause that, I tend to think it could be overusage of power, it cant be overheating, the computer would restart then (and its NWN, not a cpu demanding game in my experience).
