My laptop computer shuts down when i'm away, what's the reason?

Asked by funadvice about 1 year ago, 3 answers.

My laptop computer shuts down when I'm away, what's the reason?
When I leave to go somewhere, my laptop shuts ddown then when I come home and touch it, it turns back on. What's causing it to shut down while I'm away? Could it be too hot? Or, would it be...

wearing out? I love my laptop since this computer is my first one since I don't own a desktop.
I would appreciate some feedback. Thanks.

go to control panel then power option ,
if you dont want the computer to go on ( stand by ) mode choose never
if it is the monitor that shuts down, choose nevrer ,. the monitor usually shut down after being away for 20 minutes
