    Hello

    Have this weird problem. I like to leave my laptop running for days but recently it started to go to sleep on its own. I go away, shut off the LCD by Fn+F7 (or not) come back and see that PC is sleeping. Power4gear is set sleep, hybernation NEVER, windows powerplan the same. So what am I missing?

    Thanks

    Roman, try uninstalling power-4-gear and use one of the standard windows power plans.

    I thought power4gear was important power management program. It wont hurt my laptop performance if I do that?

    for it to not go to sleep, you have to "disable" all forms of standby, from screen standby, hdd sleep mode, ACPI sleep etc, do them all for a power plan and it should work

    Roman AFA I know if you remove P4G you will not be able to use Twin Tubro which mildly OC's the CPU.. Many here call it a gimic and I agree.
    It will not effect your GPU, if removal fixes it you can always put it back and retest,

    Thanks. During this year I never used Twin turbo so if P4G is only good for that, I might as well try removing it and see if it helps
