My 3 Month Old Desktop Keeps Going In To Sleep Mode - Every Couple Of Minutes -

Newly purchased CQ2000 desktop has just started going in to "sleep mode" every couple of minutes! Hitting any key in the usual way does not remedy this and I have to either wait a couple of minutes when it sometimes "wakes up" or close the system and re-boot. I use this system for work purposes and therefore this is causing a serious problem. Any ideas?
