I am not sure if I have power plan issues, but I already configured the power and sleep setting myself according my needs. However this problem still persist.

The main issue here is that the PC will automatically goes into sleep mode (or standby, or hibernation, I'm not sure) just a few seconds after finish playing videos. I guess it's about 10 secs or less. Happens when I finish watching on internet streams (Chrome) or MPC-HC. Sometimes okay (I think), but it happens quite regularly.

This is annoying since I usually watch shows from my bed like a lazy bum and I had to quickly get up to awake the PC. I'm pretty sure this never happened before and I have never changed anything weird on the power plan.
I'm pretty sure I set the PC to sleep only after 30 mins, which is long enough.

Sleep works normally if I was not playing any videos. The desktop will go to sleep after 30mins.

My usual power plan setting:

BALANCED
- REQUIRED PASSWORD ON WAKE UP - No

HARD DISK
- TURN OFF HARD DISK AFTER - 20 mins

DESKTOP BACKGROUND SETTING
- SLIDE SHOW - Available

WIRELESS ADAPTER SETTINGS
- POWER SAVING MODE - Maximum Performance

SLEEP
- SLEEP AFTER - 30 mins
- ALLOW WAKE TIMERS - Enable

USB SETTINGS
- USB SELECTIVE SUSPEND SETTING - Enable

POWER BUTTONS AND LID
- POWER BUTTON ACTION - Shut down

PCI EXPRESS
- LINK STATE POWER MANAGEMENT - Moderate Power Savings

PROCESSOR POWER MANAGEMENT
- MINIMUM PROCESSOR STATE - 5%
- SYSTEM COOLING POLICY - Active
- MAXIMUM PROCESSOR STATE - 100%

DISPLAY
- TURN OFF DISPLAY AFTER - 10 mins
- ENABLE ADAPTIVE BRIGHTNESS - Off

MULTIMEDIA SETTINGS
- WHEN SHARING MEDIA - Prevent idling to sleep
- WHEN PLAYING VIDEO - Optimize video quality


Let me know what you guys think. And perhaps share your power setting.

Tried reflashing to the 2 previous BIOS files and running at default, and the result is still the same... so I think BIOS is not the problem here. There must be something I've been missing in Windows.

PC Specs (nothing fancy)
- Intel Pentium G620 (stock setting)
- ASUS P8Z77-M (latest 2203 BIOS, default setting)
- 8GB RAM
- Sapphire HD 7750
- 520W Seasonic PSU
- 4x HDDs, 1x optical drive
- running Windows 10 Pro 64-bit

I have never experienced any BSOD though.

Never had any instability problem so far, only small annoying tidbits like this.

As you did not state the laptop model, its hard to troubleshoot.

My experiences with HP lappy, they have a default power management fixes just for this similar issues. Downloaded from HP's website.

Even Lenovo also have their own power management tools also downloaded from Lenovo's website.

Have a look in your manufacturer website, do they provide something like power management tools or similar. Sometimes the tools is bundled together as a suite of software instead of individual tools (eg. like Asus & Acer).

I already mentioned the specs in my OP above, obviously it's a desktop not a laptop.

Anyway I just updated to Windows 10's Anniversary Update and the problem seems to be gone now. Perhaps it was just a small glitch.
