I've searched around and have not been able to find a solution to my problem, so I'm hoping I can get some help here.

My graphics card is a Radeon HD 7870. My monitor is an Acer V213HL. I also have a duplicate display that is never on that is a 52" Panasonic Projection LCD. I have my monitor set to turn off after 3 minutes. Starting a few weeks ago my wireless mouse/keybaord were causing the monitor to turn off and on over and over again. I never found a solution to that problem, but now my problem as turned into this...

the monitor just won't sleep at all.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Well if you haven't changed any of the power options during the last two weeks, then the problem has been caused due some other reason. I totally neglect the hardware failure, so it must be something with a software. And what always comes firstly in my mind is a trojan or mallware. This is what I can thing of. Try running a virus scan first..

well, i downloaded the software (there doesn't appear to be a stand-alone driver), but I'm not sure it did anything. BUT i did notice that when having it plugged into a front USB or my USB hub (which is plugged into the back) everything works as it should. if I have the controller plugged directly into the back, thats when i have the problem. I'm not sure if I was plugging it into USB 2.0 or 3.0 as I was doing it without looking -- not sure if that makes a difference or not
