Posted on the rog forums, first they bitched about me using windows 7

Now with windows 10, it STILL does

Only when im playing, but that is an assumption because that is what I do 99% of the time

Dodgy lid switch ?

Re: Asus G73jh sleeps randomly

No idea. Not even sure what kind of switch or its location. Under warranty but asus warranty handling sucks. Anyone know where and the type (magnetic, mechanical) so I can try to see if I can trigger it manually and perhaps get asus to fix it and not just return it saying it didn't do it for them?

Asus G73 - What a awesome laptop! It's still my baby (with some updates along the years)

Since the sleep reason points to the lid switch and not other (e.g. API, power settings, overheat, ...) u must check it.
It's a magnetic reed switch type, located near the Capslock/Numlock LEDs at the laptop base.
Use a magnet to trigger it without closing the lid.
