I'm running Windows Vista. My computer keeps going to sleep randomly. I've tried adjusting my power settings to the "never put the computer to sleep" setting, doesn't work.

WTF?

I've googled it, haven't found what I'm looking for. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Try checking out your BIOS.

You might have some setting where a certain key on your keyboard is calling for a sleep function.
