The "solution" to your problem is press windows, type "presentation", and select "adjust settings before giving a presentation". Now just select "I am currently giving a presentation" and "Turn off screen saver", click ok, and your computer will stay on.

As a bonus you can have normal sleep and hibernation settings that make sense when you don't want to run something overnight.
