upgraded kernel now pc goes to sleep

I did an update yesterday where the kernel was upgraded.

After a while the PC seems to go to sleep. This did not happen before the upgrade.

Light blinks on the box and I need to push the power button to wake up.

Can someone provide some information on what this is called? Or how I can disable it?

When this happens I cannot even ssh to this computer from another.  Everything shuts down?

Thanks
J

Re: upgraded kernel now pc goes to sleep

It could be that your window manager suspends it as if it were a laptop. On gnome, go to power management preferences and disable sleeping options.
