Hi, I wanted to keep my Win 7 laptop running 7/24, so I selected "Never" under "Put computer to sleep" when plugged in in the Power Options. But the system keeps shutting itself down after idling for a few hours. Why??? Appreciate any suggestions.

When I go into Power options in the control panel it says "Chage plan settings" so I turn off my display after one hour and that's OK. Then it says "Put the computer to sleep" from 1 minute to 5 hours so what does that mean?
