Screen Sleeping Problem

[ShavedBunny]

The problem is that whenever I try to play Oblivion (or any other game that is any kind of graphic intensive) after a few minutes of actual gameplay, the screen goes black and says "Going To Sleep". The game is still running, though, because I can hear it. I have installed the latest drivers from the site, and I have tried to use the drivers that came with the card, but to no avail. I have tried two different monitors, and the problem still persists. I have also tried to turn off the automatic sleep setting for the monitors for Windows, and the problem still happens. The only other game I've tried is F.E.A.R. and that does the monitor sleep deal as soon as I start the game.

System: 2.40 gigahertz AMD Athlon 64, KN9(NF-MCP55 series) 1.x mobo, 160 gig Western Digital HD, 2048 megabytes of memory Corsair XMS2, Radeon X1950 Pro

EDIT: thanks in advance

Right click on desktop > Properties> Screen Saver> Power options

tell your screen never to shut off, I don't see how that could be your problem but you never know. Might work

What type of monitors are you running?


What res / refresh are you playing at?

Do you have any cats? (mine chewed a video cable and caused similar issues)

Wow....cable management time! Sleeving them up would probably stop the cats.
