    Hi all,

    I am on my second Vizio CT15-A5 (first one returned for this problem), and when I am working on the laptop while on battery mode, the laptop will randomly go to sleep (I am not idle). This has happened on both laptops, they are brand new, and I have added little to no software to them.

    It appears to happen only on battery, and it happens even if I only have a word document open (wifi off)... so it is definitely not a heating issue. I am logging temps at 50C at times when it randomly sleeps. It appears to be completely random. Sometimes I can work for an hour before it happens... then sometimes it happens after 5 minutes of turning the computer on. Same issue on two different brand new vizio's...

    This issue is rather frustration and I was wondering if any other owners have experienced similar issues and if there is a possible fix.

    Thanks in advance,
    Sean
