It has been two months since I first installed Windows 8 (new build), and I am down to 1-2 remaining issues. One is that about 1 minute after the computer, or monitor, or ?? wakes up from sitting there running but with the monitor screen dark, the screen flickers or goes black for a second or so. When I move the mouse or touch the keyboard the monitor screen comes on as it normally should in a couple of seconds. However, after about a minute of operating normally, the screen flickers or goes black for a second or so. It is fine after that, until it (the monitor?) goes to sleep again.
I'm thinking it has something to do with power management, but no idea if it is a BIOS setting, or Windows 8 setting, or what? Any thoughts on where to start looking? Obviously this is not a critical issue, but is kind of annoying.
