[QUOTE="RVC1, post: 1792004, member: 33904"] I've tried researching this in the past to no avail. I can't seem to figure out the specifics of what triggers this, but it continues to happen. My computer goes to sleep while I'm working and will continue to do so after I wake it up. It seems to happen when I'm in Photoshop, making a detailed selection with my Lasso tool. The other thing that I thought was contributing to the scenario is that I seem to always have something streaming in the background when it happens. I don't think it's a key combo, though I'm usually holding Option and Command. I wondered if it might be the computer overheating and deciding to take a nap, so I put an external fan on the back, not sure if that helps (sometimes). I'll usually stop the streaming and it will continue if I go back to PS, however it will sometimes help. If I stay out of PS it seems to stop, so I feel like PS is part of it but why I don't know. Does anyone else have this or a similar problem? My computer and set up details are: iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014), 32 GB Ram, 27" Thunderbolt Display, 4TB G-RAID TB Storage [/QUOTE]
