[QUOTE="RVC1, post: 1792760, member: 33904"] I have tried resetting the SMC and NVRAM and the sudden sleep mode continues to happen. Again the same thing, iTunes streaming, in Photoshop using the lasso tool, puts the computer to sleep. I tried disconnecting the second monitor, no luck. As for disconnecting the external HD, I can't do that easily since the iTunes I use will want to connect to the library on that HD. But would it really be the external? The excessive fan spinning happens during this as well. I use a Logitech M510 mouse, I wonder if it's that. I can't find my mac mouse at the moment to try that. I was remembering this morning, this problem was happening on my MBP as well, same exact thing, so it's not this specific iMac. There's something else with Adobe, Apple, and something else I use. I believe I had the same mouse in the MBP at the time, but in the preferences, there is no sleep command, IDK. It's seriously frustrating. Thanks for the suggestions guys. It seems to be happening without the streaming as well now. [/QUOTE]
