Monitor doesn't go to sleep; cursor in middle of screen

I have Windows 8 x64 Professional.

I customized my power plan (High Performance) so that the monitor sleeps after 5 minutes of inactivity. However, the monitor doesn't actually sleep. The LCD's colors turn to black, instead of the panel/back-light turning off. The mouse cursor also stays idle in the center of the screen.

In the advanced power options, I've made sure sleep happens after 5 minutes, and "Adaptive Brightness" is off. I'm not sure what else to try, and Google has returned no help.

Anyone?

I'm having the same problem with win 7 on a new system. Comparing your system specs to mine, my guess is that it's either the video driver or the intel RST driver (seems less likely). I'm also having some brief graphical glitches when the monitor wakes up from a successful sleep.
