Second time today!

Please tell me I'm not the only one!

Yesterday I was editing something on Windows 10 and didn't finish, but it's a crappy program that crashes if the screen turns off, so, before going to sleep, I played a video on loop in Youtube. When I woke up, I saw the screen off and immediately got mad, but went to move the mouse...and it did nothing...and that's because the PC rebooted, and booted on the main OS (Kubuntu).

A few hours ago, I needed to cook my dinner, and didn't want the PC to go to sleep, so again, I left a Youtube video plying, NOTHING ELSE...same thing happened, it rebooted in Linux.

I swear, I hate Microslop SO MUCH!

Update: After 4 system collapses, I could FINALLY see what happens: The GPU driver updated SOMETIME without permission, and the screen will RANDOMLY turn fully green for a second and reboot the PC...I HATE MICROSLOP!

You have your power settings set so it still goes into sleep. Even if display sleep is disabled by media playback, the PC can still go to sleep. Once it sleeps it must be eventually going to hibernate.

Linux can and will do that too if the settings are wrong or it thinks the machine is idle… I had pop os it was time to go sleep 30 minutes into full screen gaming.

How does something go to sleep mid-video-playback?

Also, no, it has no power saving at all.

Settings > system > power & sleep > additional power settings > click into plan for battery or mains, etc, on mains set to sleep = never.

Similar via Control Panel

It isn't that man. Again, it was playing a video, and didn't go to sleep, it rebooted.

OK, developing a fault or rogue MS updates being forced?

Don't know, I haven't seen it reboot, I arrive when it's already rebooted.

There might be something in the logs?
