Hi,
If I leave my PC (Windows 8.1) for a few minutes, the screen goes blank (like a greyish colour, so I can tell the PC is still on- It is black when turned off). Anyway I move the mouse, tap keys on keyboard, even try turning the monitor off and on again, but the monitor won't display what it should. I have to turn the pc off and on again for it to work. It's really frustrating because I am sometimes in the middle of something, where I need to leave for a few minutes, then I have to turn the computer off for it to work again. It works fine except for when I leave it for a few minutes
My specifications:
Monitor: Acer K222HQL 21.5" LED VGA Monitor
Motherboard: ASRock 760GM-GS3
Processor: AMD FX-6300 (Stock speeds, and cooler)
Graphics Card: AMD Radeon 7850 2GB DDR5 (Powercolour)
Power supply: XFX 450w
RAM: 8GB (2 x 4GB) Corsair Venegence 1600MHz
SSD: Samsung EVO 120gb
Does anyone know what the problem could be?
It started happening from May shortly after I got my new monitor and upgraded to SSD. Could one of these be a reason or is it just a coincidence. I did install a fresh copy of Windows with the SSD
Thank you
