guiminer stops approx 10 minutes after monitor turned off. wtf?

[arklan]

so i just re-installed windows fresh the other day and am getting everything reset up. guiminer, radeon 6870 dedicated miner (a secondary card) that's worked fine as long as i've had it. now, when i turn off the tv screen i use as a monitor (it's an hdmi connection) about ten minutes or so later it seemingly stops mining. fan speed drops, no more submitted shares, guiminer console only reporting new long polls, but still showing a nonchanging hash rate. once i click stop/start, it gets going again, no problems.

i have a screensaver that comes on after 5 minutes idle, but all sleep and hibernate settings are off. using latest drivers. been trying to fix this for a day and a half now, and i'm out of settings to check. does anyone have any ideas?

just don't turn off the tv

or use a dummy

well, i sleep in the same room, so keeping the screen on is a no go. and a dummy plug would probably work, yea. i forgot to mention the tv is plugged into the nvidia card and nothing into the amd.

either way, moot point. i think i've sorted it. i sat here reading a book while listening for the fan changes so i could test different things. first thing i did was reset the clocks to default. ran fine. i must have had them set too high or the fan speed inadequate or something along those lines. so, i THINK i'm sorted. least i hope i am.

bring on the asic's and no need to fudge like this...
