My computer is falling asleep outside of the screen and sleep times that I have set. I have made sure that the screen saver is set to none, and that the power options and advanced settings match the sleep settings. Regardless, though I have set sleep to 1 hr, it will go to sleep after approximately 2-4 minutes. If I reboot, this will solve the problem temporarily until the computer sleeps normally or I initiate sleep. After that it reverts to the abbreviated sleep mode. This started happening after I installed Windows 10. Additionally, I'm using a wireless mouse and keyboard (Microsoft & Logitech) that I have turned off the "allow this device to wake your PC" option, but the same thing happens.
This computer was made by a third party, but I checked through the command line, and the motherboard is an Intel Desktop DP55WB Media Series microATX.
Any clues as to where I should start looking?
It would help if you would indicate the computer type and model you are talking about. even desktop motherboards can have some software that works with or changes the power plans. http://superuser.com/questions/984881/windows-10-goes-to-sleep-ignoring-the-settings?rq=1 a Question similar to this was asked.

check also these older ones http://superuser.com/questions/556883/why-does-my-windows-7-go-to-sleep-after-two-minutes-regardless-of-power-manageme & http://superuser.com/questions/124772/windows-7-goes-to-sleep-in-conflict-with-power-option-setting because they at least have answers, and things to look for even if it is the older os. Another idea would be to create your own custom power profile starting with whatever they call a high performance one, that will place a new item in the registry, and start with a no sleep type of profile. Check to see what power profile is applied when it occurs
– Psycogeek – 2015-12-30T04:01:57.927Update: I've found a way in which the computer stays on in line with the settings. The Logitech wireless keyboard I'm using has a button for sleep. I use that to turn the computer off. If I wake the computer with basic mouse movement (Microsoft wireless), then the computer will sleep early as noted. However, if I wake the computer with the keyboard's sleep button, and then resume mouse usage, the computer will stay on as it is supposed to. I had read previously that peripheral drivers could be the cause. Could that be it, and is there a way to access these settings? – user2168046 – 2016-02-21T16:19:14.480

@MartheenCahyaPaulo I went a head and added an answer with more detail as I reviewed those answer I provided you links to and I was missing some of the key points but I'll get those updated another day with applicable detail. I added everything I typically do when I used the solution I provided in my written answer. – Pimp Juice IT – 2017-09-30T20:46:21.440
