laptop goes blank after 10 minutes of inactivity until use of mouse
hi, hopefully someone can help me with this as it is very bloody annoying. hopefully im not being an idiot but theres every chance i am.
i have had my acer aspire e1-531 for a couple of years and never had any problems. over the last few weeks whenever i watch a movie/tv show the screen will go blank after 10 minutes then instantly back on again when i use the mouse or keyboard. i have my laptop running through my tv via hmdi, this happens to the laptop aswell as the tv though. i have checked multiple times the screen saver settings and power options and all settings are as i had them when this problem wasnt happening.
i do download a fair amount from kickass could it be possible its somekind of virus/annoying-technical-thing that my anti virus hasnt come across?
any help with this would be very much appreciated, cheers
