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.

I assume you have checked your power options ?

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..

I'm pretty sure its not a virus. Avast runs a scan every day, I did a boot-time scan, have ran a Malware Bytes scan, as well as an Advanced SystemCare scan. (all full scans)

Have you checked AMD catalyst for any power options or only in the Control Panel?

I just checked AMD catalyst. it has the same settings as the control panel. Turn off display 3 minutes. put computer to sleep never.

Well I can't think of anything else... The extraordinary solution is to do a clean pc format. Sorry mate..

turns out the culprit was my Lotitech F310 controller. Just wish I knew why and/or how to fix it. I'd like to be able to keep it plugged in

Try installing the device's drivers from Logitech. Maybe you can solve your problem.

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

OMG, I just resolved the same issue, and also identified my F310 controller as the main culprit! WTF Logitech??
