    Why do my monitors immediately come on again after shutting off at the designated time...


    No matter what time I set for my 3 monitors to go off in System>Power>Screen, sleep, & hibernate timeouts> Turn my screen off after..., they go off, but then immediately they come back on again. This happens even if no wake timers are set. Powercfg/lastwake always shows a history count of 0.What else could be turning them back on?

    Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

    Here's a quick laundry list:

    List of software to use for overclocking and testing
    Examples:
    Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
    Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
    How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

    Step-by step overclocking in Wattman
    Fan speeds
    Power limit
    Temp limit
    Voltages
    Core speeds
    Memory speeds
     
  3. multiple monitors

    Hi Arjay,

    I really appreciate the response. Unfortunately those initial steps didn't resolve it yet. The graphics settings do correctly indicate monitor 1 as my primary. I didn't get a chance to check it during one of the restarts when it switched the monitors
    on me, so I will see if I can catch that next time just to see if the designation actually changes in the settings. The clean reboot did not seem to make a difference, though I also seemed to have full functionality after that reboot so I'm wondering if it
    didn't actually do a clean reboot--is that possible?

    Next thoughts? (I only have access to that PC during certain hours, so if I don't respond back immediately after one of your suggestions, that's why...)
