  1. sometimes my pc will go to black screen when idle for a couple minutes on the login screen


    this has happened a couple times haven't changed anything settings wise and it is a very rare occurrence, still quite annoying. Even rarer than that, once in a blue moon, my pc wont even boot to windows and even if i just restart my pc it wont work. i have to take my graphics card out and the cmos battery and only then will it work. the main problem was the one i stated first, it happens a lot more frequently. when it does happen i have to restart my pc and it usually is fine. all of my power settings are turned to "sleep: never" and "display off: never" etc. what could be my problem?


    All of my drivers are up to date, my windows is on the current build, and my motherboard bios is on the newest version. Thanks

    :)

    It sounds as if you had the Blank screen saver selected, set to 5 minutes and to ask login on resume:

    I can not get my pc to follow my Power and Sleep settings. After 5 minutes of inactivity, the screen is blank and I have to wake it and login.
