    GT735 Can't get it to stop sleeping when I close the lid

    As the title says, it seems that, no matter what setting I change, the laptop will sleep when I close the lid. This is annoying, because, upon waking it, my laptop (games specifically) don't run as well (at least for a little while). Also, I want to be able to close the laptop while downloading things without the download stopping.

    Anyone have any ideas as to what I should do?

    I take you've gone the Control Panel -> Power Options route?

    Right click battery icon, power options, and choose what closing the lid does on the left hand side, from there you can change the features you dislike :)

    Yeah...I did that. But it doesn't make a difference. The little moon light is always on, and when I close the laptop, it starts blinking. Then, when I open the laptop, I have to press the power button to wake it.
