    there are both options

    in your BIOS you can let the OS control it, or do it yourself and then the OS can handle it on top of that - the first place i would look is BIOS, my laptop has defautl settings of liek 10 minutes on inactive it goes to standby - i bet you the laptop isnt off, its "sleeping" try pressing the power button once (dont hold it) when it does this and see fi it "wakes up"
