Help - Mac goes to sleep while gaming

[Jessica87]

My mac goes into sleep mode when i play world of warcraft... it hasn't done it when im doing anything else... i have all the stuff turned off so it shouldnt ever go into sleep mode or screen saver mode, unless i tell it too!! Anyone know why?... Its a Mac OS X version 10.5.8

OS X should only go to sleep / screen saver mode when no input is detected from any source - game pad, keyboard, or mouse. It's entirely possible that you've run into a bug that has been fixed in a newer OS X version, though I cannot confirm this easily.

It sleeps? There's no kernel panic? It does sound like a bug though. Have you tried to update your OS?

IS there any FREE downloads for the new Versions... looking at all this i see im WAY out dated :/ and broke. lol

Thats strange. It sounds like you might really suck at gaming and the computer falls asleep from boredom? Maybe simply not sucking is the answer?
