It looks like you have a misconfigured power option

Do the following to solve your problem:

Click on the start button on your desktop, scroll up and click on run

when there type the word control and press enter

this should take you to the control panel.

Scroll and click on the power options icon

When there you should see option that state what your computer will do when sitting idle

select the option to never turn off your hard disk when idle and this should solve your problem
