Having a issue where my monitors are going to sleep

Hey, did the Group Policy change not help?

Try clearing CMOS/loading defaults in BIOS.

You can also update BIOS if above fail.

I've talked to Asus and they said it has nothing to do with my motherboard.

What monitors do you have (24" Samsungs doesn't tell us anything)? Also, what is the model of your new graphics card?

Sorry I didn't see that you asked what graphics card I have. here is my entire system,

Intel Core i7-4790K Processor (8M Cache, up to 4.40 GHz)
ASUS Z97-A ATX DDR3 2600 LGA 1150 Motherboards Z97-A
Corsair CX Series 750 Watt ATX/EPS Modular 80 PLUS Bronze ATX12V/EPS12V 744 Power Supply CX750M
Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory
Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory To make a total of 32GB
(3) Seagate 2TB Desktop HDD SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5-Inch Internal Bare Drive
(1) Seagate 1TB Desktop HDD SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5-Inch Internal Bare Drive
EVGA GeForce GTX 970 SC+ ACX 2.0, DVI-I, DVI-D, HDMI, DP SLI Ready Graphics Card
Samsung 224T Monitor & Westinghouse L2410NM Monitor

Since this is happening every 1 hour maybe a Scheduled Task?

Open Start Menu, search for task schedule, run as admin.
When it opens on the right pane, Enable All Task History (if not already). Exit scheduler.
Now when some task runs it will show in Task Status in the middle pane.
When your monitor goes to sleep, come back here and see if you can spot any particular task has run.

I have also seen a case where one of the motherboard applications was causing this regardless of power options. Do you have any such application installed?

One final note: If Task Scheduler history won't work, you can check Event Viewer (Applications and Services Logs - Microsoft - Windows - TaskScheduler - Operational. These load a bit slow, so be patient.

I enabled the all task history so I guess you are thinking that when I monitors go to sleep there will be a task that shows up in the history.

As far as the motherboard applications I have none running. This is very strange.

Yes, it is worth to check if any scheduled task will show up. Also check the Event viewer part just in case. If these fail, I guess you can carry on with the repair install.

Good luck! :)

The group policy didn't work. monitors went to sleep @3:46AM and 4:46 AM
