I do not know what those Boinc settings in your diagram mean so I cannot suggest what to do with it.1.1. That will leave whatever Boinc does as the source of the problem. Your second step could be to set the computer to sleep after 25 mins to check it sleeps and resumes correctly. I think your first investigation step should be to turn the screensaver off so Boinc never starts and then see if the computer behaves itself. Given what you have posted, I do not think your computer is sleeping at all. If you don't see either then no sleep has occurred. If you see it sleep without a resume then the computer has crashed during sleep. If your computer sleeps, you'll see an entry The system is entering sleep when it starts sleepand an entry The system has returned from a low power state when it ends it. In Event viewer's left-hand pane, select Custom views, Power - S0-Sleep-Hibernate transitions and you will see a timed list of sleep & resume from sleep events. Select the unzipped "Custom view" definition, Open, OK.

In the upper-right of the window, click on Import Custom view, Here is an Event viewer "Custom view" definition. You have shown how Boinc is implemented but "I have to press the on button on the front of the computer a few times" still indicates that you have a problem. "I think your help has solved my problem" I assume that also means that if you change your screensaver to off that Boinc never starts. I've no problem accepting that even though I've never seen it before. That implies that Boinc is installed as an active type of screensaver. I think you mean that your screensaver is set to kick in after 30 mins & Boinc is set as the screensaver. "the screen saver is set to show BOINC after 30 minutes" Do you mean that the display goes blank after 30 mins? That does not necessarily indicate sleep - it can just mean screensaver. There seems to be a contradiction within those words. The computer looks to do exactly what I want it to do, turn the computer into a 'sleep' state after 30 minutes" "I have set both turn off the display to 'never' and put the computer to sleep to 'never'. Sleep (clicking on the + at the side opens)Īgain I am assuming from this that there is something else set somewhere that is making my computer 'sleep'? Turn off hard disk after :- (this is set to 0.) If I click on 'change advanced power settings' in the 'edit plans settings page above I get a small window called 'power options' which gives me a number of headings including I am assuming from this that there is something else set somewhere that is making my computer 'sleep'? Is the state I am referring to called sleep or could it be hibernate or something else? I have been experimenting with both and can get the computer to go to the state that I indicated in my first thread to one minute by setting either to 1 minute. See Choosing BOINC projects for more info about boinc. The computer looks to do exactly what I want it to do, turn the computer into a 'sleep' state after 30 minutes and show the boinc is using the computer.

If I click on 'choose when to turn off the display' I have set both turn off the display to 'never' and put the computer to sleep to 'never'.

What have you set in Power options? If you don't know how to check then you can put this in a shortcut or the Run box control.exe /name Microsoft.PowerOptionsIf I go to power options the power plan is balanced.
