    Monitor turning on by itself after turning off due to Power Setting


    I have my power settings set to turn off my monitor after 3 minutes

    After it turns out, sometimes it turns back on my itself a few minutes later. Then it will turn off again and usually stay off until I move the mouse or hit a key

    I checked for any updating software, any scheduled tasks, nothing is running. I also unplugged my Ethernet cable to see if it was some network thing, and it still happened so it;s not that. Any ideas why this is happening?

Crashing After Turning off Monitor
in BSOD Help and Support

Using Win 7 Pro 64bit. Every time I turn off the monitor I either see a blank screen, or the taskbar is gone or the PC is in terminal sleep (can't be awakened). I usually have to reboot. If I leave the monitor on, these things don't happen. Any hints as to why this might occur? Thanks. PRS

Is there a way to turn off the monitor without itself being dimmed off by power settings? Thanks.
