This document shows you how to alter the power saving settings on Windows 7.
Adjust the settings for reliable USB communication between PC and Mill, Lathe, Laser or rapid prototyping machine

I tried altering the power settings but the same issue arises. The machine is disconnecting before starting to cut.
