Question Windows shutting down when I turn off display seemingly regardless of power settings.

[cwlaymance]

Sorry if already answered I couldn’t find anything. I recently decided to host a game server for me and a few friends. Got everything set up all is working well server side played for about an hour then decided to turn off my monitor for the server. Around 12 minutes later it shuts down. Seems simple so I checked every power, shut down, hibernate, and sleep setting on windows and my bios even made sure to turn off fast boot yet still at around 12 minutes the pc shuts down. Tried again without the servers open and it does the same thing. I don’t understand. Please help.

Just guessing, but sounds like something is heating up - maybe cpu or gpu. Can you monitor the temperatures as the pc heats up? I've never used it, but I found a program called "Core Temp". I'm sure there are other programs that will do the same.

How about if you use the Power Options to just turn off the signal to the display without manually totally turning off and powering down the monitor? How is the monitor connected to the server; is it some way that the server would detect that you have manually turned off the monitor and the monitor is totally powered down?

It’s just a windows 10 pc I’m running the game server on it’s the pc itself shutting down already checked if it was over heating it only shuts down if the tv it’s connected to is off I can even have it on a different channel and it will stay on

Nah nothing is overheating I have coretemp and it only turns off if the tv it’s connected to is off and it’s always right at 12 minutes so it has to be some kind of idle timer but I can’t find anything for it

HDMI is how it’s connected. The monitor is my 65” Roku tv lol
