This pc was going into sleep mode and I can't make it stop, so I just decided to start backing up everything and planned to format it..... but then the other pc on my desk just started this same thing today and I know I haven't changed one thing on that one, I don't use it near like I do this one and haven't even updated anything on it in forever.

The ONLY common thread between them is the new APC I bought........ if you use one of these, is it built in with something that puts a pc into sleep mode? I have got to get this figured out...... I have disabled anything and everything I can find that would put it into sleep and it's still doing it...... or should I say THEY are still doing it.

I think they can only turn off the computer if you've got the UPS hooked up to the PC via the USB etc... Which, if you do, should allow you to run the software to see what's going on.. Could be the UPS is screwed up and thinks it needs to shut things down.
