Mac Mini (late 2012) w/ fusion drive - sleep issues

I am experiencing difficulties with my new Mac Mini (late 2012) w/ fusion drive.

All of the system preferences are set to NOT SLEEP EVER!

The screen saver is set to NEVER!

When I leave the unattended for more than an hor or two it puts itself to sleep and quits all open applications?

I did ZAP the parameter ram and there was no change?

Any assistance you can provide will be much appreciated!

Go to System Preferences->Personal->Security & Privacy and click on the ADVANCED tab in the lower-right corner. (You will probably have to click the AUTHENTICATE lock in the lower-left corner and provide your password first.)

Un-check the "Log out after X minutes of inactivity" box in the Advanced panel or set X to a large value that isn't likely to get in your way often.
