Screen goes black after 10 minutes - HELP please

Have a new HP 300 Touchsmart computer ( less than a week old ) and I have disabled the screensaver thinking it would solve the problem I am having , but the problem still exists . While I am watching a Youtube or other video the screen will dim slightly and a few minutes later go black . If I move the mouse the screen will return to normal . Anybody know how I might be able to fix this via some setting or other way ? Thanks in advance .

IF you already checked it's not screensaver, then it have to be power options. See attached image.

Change your power plan. Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Power Options

I am now using the computer in Japanese ( live in Japan with Japanese wife ) so sometimes can't read all the instructions / icon titles / etc...Going to upgrade to Ultimate soon so I can operate in English . In the meantime , I may be asking some " dummy " questions here on the forum . Cheers !
