    Re: Why my PC sleeps

    I am guessing it is the monitor that is displaying "Sleep"?

    If so, I guess your PC has crashed/locked up and because no singal is being received by the monitor it then puts itself in sleep mode.

    You need to troubleshoot the issue with the PC......

    Have you added a new gfx card recently? I've seen this happen when the card doesn't get enough power.

    Have you checked your cables? If a cable is lose or broken and loses the signal it would cause the monitor to lose the display and 'sleep'
