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
