Hey guys my laptop keeps going to sleep for no reason
It started about a week ago
It goes to sleep mostly when im watching videos with "Media player classic"
And it's not due to inactivity or the settings because i checked them!
I think it started with the previous graphics driver update
I have a Windows 10 x64 on an Asus FX553ve (16gb - gtx1050ti)

It doesnt happen when i'm gaming or surfing the web
But when i start watching videos it randomly goes to sleep
In random times like after 5minutes of watching or 15 or 70...

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling mpc and updating my graphic card driver
And it didn't work
Sometimes even after closing the mpc app, it still goes to sleep in a random manner!
I wanted to check if there's any other way of solving this before i tried to reinstall my windows!
 
Also, when it goes to sleep while watching videos, it happens repeatedly for 4-5 times and then stops and works fine until the next burst
 
start an elevated command prompt and type in powercfg -h off to stop hibernation and see it that helps.
next go into Control Panel ,Power Options, and click Change plan settings for whatever plan you are currently using.
Change Turn off the display to Never.

if it still does it, it shouldn't be Windows causing it. I'd change from your current media player to VLC or Pot Player.

Actually i found out what the problem was,
The LAV decoders which should open when watching videos with mpc(k-lite) didn't open as they should! I fixed that by reinstalling the k-lite decoder and the problem was solved!
But thank you anyway for your help!
You have a great forum!!!
