I have tried to use external monitor, but i have to keep the laptop's
monitor up. Everytime I close down laptop's monitor, the laptop went to
sleep.

How can I keep using laptop while the monito is close down.

The first thing I do when I get a new laptop is to go into Power Option
Properties and click on the Advanced tab and to select "When I close the
lid of my portable computer" I select "Do nothing". Did you try that?
