    Something's putting netbook to sleep
    « on: March 13, 2012, 05:53:35 PM »
    Something's putting my netbook to sleep. Acer Aspire One 722 only a couple weeks out of the box, Win 7 Premium. Before the start of Daylight Saving Time it was going to sleep at 5:00 AM. Now it's going to sleep at 6:00 AM. Thoughts on the culprit? Acer Tech Support was entirely unhelpful. Haven't visited any dodgy sites (honest) or installed doubtful software.

      Sorry, that's Win 7 Home Premium. Updates up to date.

      Tried setting up a different power saving schedule?

        Yeah, and set all to Never. No joy.

        Ah, you're using the Acer power saving software? I'd get rid of that, use the built-in Windows power saving features.

          I think it is Windows power mgmt, not Acer. Or do you mean something other than the power options that pop up when I click on the battery icon? Those are what I was referring to -- when to dim the display / turn off the display / sleep. All Never.

          But you do have Acer power management software installed as well, right?

          What power profile are you currently using?
