I have my power saver set to blank the screen after some time. Right
after a boot, it works fine. Some time later it stops blanking. I have
tried to figure out what is doing it will little success, other than
just rebooting the machine. I am sure I am starting something in my
normal course of use that is doing this.
I can't find any process in particular that I can stop that makes it
better and eventually I break so much stuff I have to boot anyway.
Any tips?

Right click desktop, properties, screensaver. Set it to blank
after, say 15 minutes.
Modern screens use so little power that you are not really
saving much.
I sometimes use it when I want my computer to require a
password to log back in. Otherwise I use power = always on.
