I tried searching through old messages before making this post, my apologies if this has already been addressed. I have been leaving my computer up at night for Boinc to run, but very little has processed. I noticed in the Event Log these 2 messages: "Windows is suspending operations" and, "Suspending network activity - requested by operating system."

I am no computer expert, but that sounds like the settings in Sleep Mode need to be tweaked, because the computer is putting itself to sleep. I tried going into Control Panel, but I don't understand all of the settings.

Any help is appreciated. It's pointless to have the program installed if it's not able to do it's job. :)

The settings to change are under the power management. Set "turn off monitor", "suspend network", and "suspend computing" to "never", and stop all "sleep" or "hibernate" modes.
