    Default Monitor shuts off randomly.

    My monitor tends to randomly go into power saving mode, usually while gaming. I can usually fix it by restarting, but it's happening with more and more frequency now.

    About 2 years. Also, it started happening after I left the computer on for a few days on end if that matters.

    My computer never shuts off.

    Some input devices do not seem to "trigger" the screen saver, so if you are playing games on a gamepad or the like it might be turning off since it doesn't count that as input.

    Turn power saving off all together and see what happens.
    "When I die, I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like Fidel Castro, not screaming in terror, like his victims."

    My shameful truth.
