Windows 10: My computer starts in low resolution for about 30 seconds then it goes black and reverts to...

I've had this problem ever since I did a clean install of Windows 10. I have a feeling it is because of some driver fault but nothing I did solved the issue. I did DDU, reinstalled the drivers multiple times and so on. Nvidia control panel and geforce experience doesn't pop up until the resolution changes back.

Black Screen. Resolution too low

In between switching monitors, not sure how, my computer's resolution changed itself to 640 x 480/60Hz. That's not what I had it on for the TV i used to use as a monitor so not sure how/why it changed. And now when I connect my new monitor to my computer,
my monitor tells me the resolution for my computer is too low and it only shows me a black screen.

I don't own the old TV I used as a monitor before anymore and I've tried connecting the computer to other televisions throughout the house. They all just show black screens. I assume the resolution is too low for them as well.

How do I fix this?

 

Computer goes to sleep every 30 seconds

Hello,

Sorry I think you misunderstood me.

The computer resumes from the sleep just fine. My problem is if I leave my desk for 30 seconds, it goes into sleep. That shouldn't happen because my power plan settings is 30 minutes.

Hope I am clear this time.

Regards
