  1. Changed all energy settings but PC still goes to lock screen after a certain amount of time


    Recently got a new PC and I'm using Laplink to transfer my files which requires the pc to stay on for the entirety of the transfer. I've turned off all screensaver settings, power & sleep settings, lock screen settings, and energy settings, but my PC still autolocks and end up stopping the transfer. Is there something I missed? I didn't touch the "Turn off Hard Disk After ___" setting, is that it? This is the 3rd time my computer autolocked and the transfer had to restart and I'm not sure what to do. Thanks.

    :)

    Screen goes blank after changing BIOS settings/

    I don't know how long this has been happening, a few weeks at least, but whenever I change a setting in my BIOS (and save & exit), my screen goes blank and my monitor goes into standby. Any suggestions to fix this?

    PC Build Steps

    Ok just because I like steps i am going to create some steps. Please give me the stamp of approval/disapproval
    • Install system in case
      • Remember to connect SSD and optical to same SATA ports on motherboard
    • Turn on PC
    • setup HDD
    • run blend test in prime95 for 30-60 min
      • run realtemp at the same time
    • While in Prime95 test
      • if CPU goes above 70c in RealTemp, I have a leaky CPU
      • if my system locks up or blue screens, there is an instability in the system somewhere
      • if my system does not lock up or blue screen, my CPU is not damaged and I am in the clear!
    What do you guys think??
