I probably found the root cause. It's all about the registry in the machine.

1. Start -> run -> type "regedit"

2. find the power policy you are using now. \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\PowerCfg\CurrentPowerPolicy <- this value is the current setting of the power policy (Ex:2)

3. Modify \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\PowerCfg\CurrentPowerPolicy\PowerPolicies\2\Policies (Follow the example above)

4. Modify the value of position 0028 and 0032 to 04

Hope this is help
