Check your power settings, see when it's set to hibernate or go to sleep. It is entirely possible that it's due to drivers, especially since it happens "untouched". The only thing that might be causing the system pause in the list you posted is Kaspersky. But I'd look at your chipset and display drivers as culprits first.
