N3O Age Of Empires and Starcraft 2 Clan

I have recently had (I still have) the problem that my computer turned into "Sleep" while playing a game of Age of Empires. It happened multiple times (even after rebooting my computer). About 20 minutes after I started a game of Age of Empires my computer turned into "Sleep". I tried to switch the option of "Sleep" from "after 20 minutes" to "never". Unfortunately, this didn't work. I then tried to switch the option to the longest time available after "never". This did, for now on, work. I have to play a couple of games more to be sure this solvs the problem. I will edit this post as soon as I am sure about this.

Strange fact: this only happens with Age of Empires (probably because Age of Empires won't work at the same time with "Protection Stub"). I have never had this problem before with Age of Empires, it started yesterday.


Edit: with the same settings like written above it happened again. This time just after 11 minutes. The only thing where I can think of what might have "saved" me from happening before was the fact that I had Windows Media Player running aswell. If anyone of you have got a solution for this irritating problem, I'd love to hear it!

Edit: I played a game again, this time running together with Windows Media Player. After 21 minutes my computer returned to "Sleep" again. At this point, I have no idea what the solution is for this problem. I checked whether my computer was too hot or so, but I'm sure that isn't the problem. I hope anyone of you know how to fix it. Thanks in advance!

Any entries in Windows Log?
U use vaccum cleaner on cpu and graphics card cooler jsut to be sure a component isn't overheating

Edit: I think I (actually Coma :-P ) solved the problem. I played a game again today, right after I woke up, and this time my computer was less hot (the temperature difference may have indeed caused the problem yesterday). I made it up to 40 minutes when I stopped the game. 1 Other thing what may have played a role in not going to "Sleep" again aswell, was the fact that I installed 2 new updates for Windows 7 yesterday evening (after constantly trying to see if AOE was working). Though I'm not sure whether this has any influence to this kind of problem...

Thanks Coma for your help!

Have you turned off user account control ? I never had a problem with AOE on widnows 7 as the first thing I do is turn off user account control when I intall windows.

No I think I haven't, can I still do that right now?

Well UAC isn't really the problem here and definitely it isn't a problem for AOE3.
Also i wouldn't really recommend to turn it off
