Screen goes black

[Pankek]

If I don't move or touch anything (keyboard/mouse) my screen just goes black after like 30 seconds. I have not set my monitor to go to sleep mode at all. It even happens when watching youtube and when i go afk for a minute in games. Sometimes it doesen't go black at all but sometimes it does.

as it happens outside of the game, it would appear that it's not a problem with garry's mod
does anything pop up on the monitor the moment it turns off?

it happens on any game and the screen just goes black, it doesen't even look like it's turned off because it's still emitting some kind of light

never experienced such thing, but it'd appear that the input to the monitor is cut off after those 30 seconds pass.
check your screen saver

Try checking your screen saver settings, it's possible that that's the issue.

I think I actually turned it off from somewhere. Thank you and I will post here if it didn't fix it
