Sleep mode problems (Aspire 5)

franjrd

I set the sleep mode on my laptop (Aspire 5) to 20 minutes or never, and many times it goes to sleep after 2 minutes or less if I do not use it or after unlocking it. Someone know why?

I too experienced this sort of issue. As a work around. do a BIOS default. After that, set the sleep mode under Power Options again. Later check what happens. Follow the below steps to perform BIOS reset. 

1. Completely shut down your computer.
2. Power on the system. As soon as the first logo screen appears, immediately press F2.
3. Press F9 and then Enter to load the default configuration.
4. Press F10 and then Enter to save and exit.

I have an Acer Aspire 5. I can't backup to an external drive because the laptop goes to sleep. This happens with Windows 10 and 11. I have tried leaving the power on and also with the top down but because the machine sleeps, nothing backs up. I got the machine on Sept. 9th and haven't backed up yet. Please help.
