Power Options Question

[John P.]

Hi All....In Power Options, I have set my Power Scheme
to "always on" and set my monitor to "Never" shut off.
Yet the monitor does shut down after 10-15 minutes of
idle time? While this is not a major dilemma, it
certainly can be annoying and it is something that I
would very much like to correct.
I would appreciate any help I can get with this. Thanks
in advance...........John P.

Go into your BIOS and disable any power management timers there.
