aerotive Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Title pretty much says it all, sometimes when I open a program, file, folder, control panel, etc the two monitors I have will go into power saving mode. A key press or mouse click turns them back on. The computer stays active, just the monitors are affected. Computer uses an HD 6670 video card, the drivers are up to date. I also turned off all power saving settings in the BIOS and Windows, didn't help. All available Windows Updates are installed. The computer was upgraded from Windows 7, this problem never happened with that OS. Any ideas on what I can try? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helpifIcan Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 I can't help but that is the problem I had with Win7 now it's gone in Win10. Strange just has to be a driver issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aerotive Posted August 29, 2015 Author Share Posted August 29, 2015 Figured it out. Been using a program called nircmd to turn off the monitors, for some reason it misbehaved under Windows 10. Removed it and the problem stopped. Replaced it with an application called Monitor Off Utility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
