    I have all my plans set to NEVER GO TO SLEEP. Yet 4hrs later it is always asleep. Anyone know how to fix this?

    Also, the screen brightness keeps going down to something under 25%. I keep having to adjust it up.

    Dell premiercolor will be changing the brightness for a guess, do you have anything else that could be changing the power profile? (Samsung Magician? )

    the power plans don't actually change. they stay exactly the same as 50-75% brightness, but the brightness changes and also the laptop goes to sleep.
