    Question Windows consistently turns off my screens after 10 minutes no matter what settings I change ?

    Apologies for the silence for a while, I came up with a temporary solution that hasn't fixed anything, just prevents it from being able to turn off (A macro just clicking control once every minute for a single splitsecond) There's now a new problem, which is that now my audio is fluctuating as...

    Question Windows consistently turns off my screens after 10 minutes no matter what settings I change ?

    anything and everything. I already said before, opera, edge, even discord streams - windows media player, all versions of - it simply doesn't matter what it is. youtube, crunchyroll, amazon, everything.

    Question Windows consistently turns off my screens after 10 minutes no matter what settings I change ?

    because my computer is a home version of windows, it did not have a group policy. but on a whim, i checked my gpresult and it said, sure enough, that the group policy had been updated the very same day that i started having issues. which was the 12th.. I force installed the group policy editor...

    Question Windows consistently turns off my screens after 10 minutes no matter what settings I change ?

    further update: It has started occuring unilatirally now, not even edge is safe anymore. I can't think what could possibly be causing such a frustrating problem.

    Question Windows consistently turns off my screens after 10 minutes no matter what settings I change ?

    Yeah, I already did go into the advanced power settings. Everything is set (if it can be) to never, and if it can't be, to 6000 seconds (100 minutes) - yet it's still turning off every ten. i did look through my system section of the events viewer last time it happened, but i coudln't see...

    Discussion What's your favourite video game you've been playing?

    when asked what my favourite game was, and what my experience playing it were, I have five answers. Borderlands 2; a game i first overlooked but then found the spirit of playing with my father. Homeworld; a game given to me by my father when i was young, and a game i've truly cherished and...

    Question Windows consistently turns off my screens after 10 minutes no matter what settings I change ?

    On this note i do have an update. It doesn't matter (mostly, which is the odd thing) what i'm watching it on. Personal files on media player, youtube videos on opera, streamed content on discord - it all does it there. But, when i'm watching (so far specifically only from one site but that i...

    Question Windows consistently turns off my screens after 10 minutes no matter what settings I change ?

    Hi chaps. Having a tad of an issue here. Last night, for no discernible reason, my computer screens started turning off after 10 minutes, even when i'm watching a video, even when it's full screen, and nothing is solving it. it's not a hardware issue, because moving the mouse turns them back on...

    Question Looking for a good, cheap headset

    I'd call £50 a budget; ideally somewhere around the £30-35 mark, but the upper limit would be 50.

    Question Looking for a good, cheap headset

    Hello! I want to avoid sounding like a choosy begger but this might need a little explanation. So, I have autism, and one of my vices, so to speak, is texture - audio too, has a texture. It means that i end up severely discomforted by low quality audio to the point that I would rather no audio...

    [SOLVED] Slow host resolving?

    Well, nobody responded here but a friend of mine did give me one thing I overlooked - check my drivers, update them and remove any unnecessary ones in the device manager. I removed Hamachi and Wippien and alas, one of those was actually the issue. moral of that story? Check your drivers.

    [SOLVED] Laptop recomendation (i7-1065g7) (coding)

    Whew. that's not half bad. for a price like that... that's like £570 here. I say go for it. Addendum: You can easily find more stats about the processor and such by looking it up, I checked for benchmark stats and it seems good from my perspective. it's mid-range, but that doesn't mean it's bad...

    [SOLVED] mid budget laptop for gaming (black friday)

    Okay, I have a shortlist of laptops you might want to check out, in order of price. Bear in mind, I am from britain, and will be using the .co.uk amazon, so if you use the .com version prices may differ. I have removed any options that have below 1 TB of space, and with less than 8 GB RAM. all...

    [SOLVED] Laptop recomendation (i7-1065g7) (coding)

    Honestly? for what you are doing with it I would say it's probably a little overkill. that being said, it does sound like a damn good deal to me - though I don't know what the price is as you only said how much off it is. could you give me the exact model number? the Inspiron is a fairly large...

    [SOLVED] Slow host resolving?

    I have been having really long load times on browsers recently. on chrome I noticed that the process it seems to be taking forever on is resolving host. I've tried everything I can think of, clearing DNS chache in chrome, manually setting my internet DNS to a fast one, clearing and resetting my...
