go to START, CONTROL PANEL, POWER SETTINGS, you can set it to NEVER as far as shutdown of disks is concerned. so it will never turn off

You probably have to power setting to turn off after a certain amount of time. Check your power settings.

Does it turn off completely or go into idle mode? It is probably in settings and system idle. Many computers are set from the factory to go to idle if no action happens for a set period of time.
Start, Settings, Internet Options etc.

If it turns off when you do not touch it, it is just hibernating. You can always turn that off. Just right clink on your Desktop and tp to "Screen Saver" and adjust the power save options.

save the components from overheating / wearing out - and to keep the screen from having colors burnt in the LCD...
You can change these settings in XP Control Panel Hardware
