Computer Keeps Falling Asleep While Rendering

[MeesterJackson]

Does anyone know how to stop this? Every time I go in Vegas and render a video and leave the computer for...about 30 minutes to an hour, my computer decides to fall asleep and go into idle mode. 

 

This is obviously annoying because it reduces my original rendering to about a fraction of what it originally was. I typically render videos at night, so I go to sleep usually on one of them, I wake up just to find that the last video I was rendering is STILL rendering. (This obviously also happens during the day too though if I leave my computer alone long enough, not just when I'm sleeping). 

 

So yeah, kinda annoying. I'd love it if someone told me how to fix this, thanks.

What he said

[DIV1D3]

Start Menu > Type "Power Settings" > Enter > Change plan settings > Choose "Never" in the "Put the computer to sleep"

Or you could just choose 4/5 hours.

Try to give your computer some coffee, that might help. /jk

 

What other people said, adjust your power settings.

Thanks, it's just weird because it never usually did it before.
