What are your power saving settings?
Does the screen 'turn off' at any point?
If so - when?

If you set the screensaver for 1 minute and turn your mouse upside down and
walk away - does the screensaver come on?
If you choose the "BLANK SCREEN" screensaver and do the same test -does it
work?

Do you have the latest video card driver/software installed direct from the
video card hardware manufacturer?
