Hi @Gabriel43,
Just go the power options on the settings and disable the sleep and hibernate options. check the steps below. 

1. Open up Power Options in the Control Panel. In Windows 10 you can get there from right clicking on the start menu and going to Power Options.
2. Click change plan settings next to your current power plan.
3. Change "Put the computer to sleep" to never.
4. Click "Save Changes"

Lo and behold... another of those frustrating features of windows 10 that is so totally designed with tablets in mind... this sleep state will not go no matter what you do in power settings. This can be done only via a hidden setting :-)

Reason... per windows... this is outside of sleep settings... and comes under the special category called "unattended sleep timeout". Follow the below steps to resolve this issue.

@Gabriel43 There is a version of bios that fixes the system shutdown! Download the latest version here: https://global-download.acer.com/GDFiles/BIOS/BIOS/BIOS_Acer_1.19_A_A.zip?acerid=636685323754871864&Step1=NOTEBOOK&Step2=PREDATOR&Step3=PREDATOR PH315-51&OS=ALL&LC=pt&BC=ACER&SC=PA_3

Hi! I just installed that version of bios and after 1 minute of using my laptop still has the same issue and for more time

OK! Go to the bios and click on load setup defaults so that any bug that existed in the previous version is corrected!

If this does not resolve, enable system protection and download the driverbooster program to update all notebook drivers: https://download.cnet.com/Driver-Booster/3001-18513_4-75992725.html?part=dl-

Remembering that the drivers provided by the manufacturer are optimized for your model! So it is necessary to activate the system protection, in case of updating the drivers of the problem!

I saw your message! You said that by pressing these buttons:

The notebook has the problem, correct?

By chance, I saw in the service manual, your bios has a function called function key behavior, see:

Change function key function to media key and test!

doesn't work... my buttons with this issue are E,R,T... in that area

Are there any drivers with device manager issues? What version of the windows 10 operating system is installed? 1803 or 1809? Is there any antivirus installed?

Gabriel43

i don't know if i have any drivers manager issues. My version of the windows 10 is 1803 and i haven't any antivirus installed

I suggest you try to update windows by windows update!
