Re: System goes to sleep



Look for any devices with "Allow the computer to turn off this device to
save power" enabled.

Open Device Manager...
Start | Run | Type: devmgmt.msc | Click OK |
Click the [+] next to Network Adapters | Double click the adapter |
Power Management tab | UNCheck: Allow the computer to turn off this device
to save power | OK | Close Device Manager

[[Specifies whether the operating system turns off the selected device if
that device is able to be turned off. If the device is busy doing
something, however, (servicing a call, for example), the operating system
will not shut down the device. The operating system will try to shut down
every possible device only when it is hibernating. Some devices must stay
on at all times. If you need the device to stay on at all times, do not
check this box.]]

Also look at USB Root Hub(s), listed under Universal Serial Bus controllers.
