Having a issue where my monitors are going to sleep

Run: gpedit.msc

Then expand:
Computer Configuration - Administrative Templates - System - Power Management - Video and Display Settings

Make sure you are expanding the Administrative Template under "Computer Configuration" and not the "User Configuration".



Restart PC after the change just in case.

OK found the folder but you didn't tell me what to do???

When I opened the gpedit.msc I got two error messages. one was this,

Oh sorry, what you need to do was in an earlier post :)

Let me re-post here.

3. Double click "Turn Off the Display (Plugged In)".
4. Change the setting to "Disabled".
5. Click OK.
6. Repeat step 4 to 5 to disable "Turn Off the Display (On Battery)".

Restart PC after those 2 changes. I need to search for the errors.

This is a long shot but did you check the settings in your monitor? Some monitors have their own sleep settings and it's remotely possible that changing GPUs may have disturbed them.

I've had these monitors for 5-6 years and they would have given me this issue before now so, No It isn't my monitors 100%!!

But did you check to see if the monitor settings may have changed? It won't cost you anything to look.

Thanks for the reply but none of my monitors have a power saver mode that can be set. Even if I had the options to change a setting Only I would be able to make the changes. TRUST me. If the monitors were the problem I would have had this issue way before this week.

Thanks

Hey, did the Group Policy change not help?

Try clearing CMOS/loading defaults in BIOS.

You can also update BIOS if above fail.

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

I have Samsung Monitor 244T, and Westinghouse L2410NM. On the samsung I do not have the software installed. I haven't installed the software for several years. I Westinghouse didn't come with software to my be of knowledge.. I really appreciate you trying to help me with this but I've built 4-5 systems over the years and have used these monitors which are plug and play abd the OS recogined them each and every time.
