Prevent Windows from going to sleep automatically
I bought a PC from someone to learn with and it keeps freezing. It works normally, but when it falls asleep, it won't wake up and I have to force it off by holding the power button. It came with a clean install of Windows 7. I wiped and did a clean install of Windows 10, and the issue persists.
This computer's job is a media server. Services appear to continue while it's frozen; however, I can't remote into it or wake the display once it goes to sleep. I have no clue what the problem could be. Any ideas how I can solve this?

Open the start menu, type Choose a power plan, hit enter. Then expand the "Hide additional plans" then select High performance, Then click "Change Plan Settings", Then click "Change advanced power settings", Then expand PCI Express, Then Link State Power Management, set that to off.
