I have my monitor set to sleep after 2 hours. I have the GPU suspended currently in boinc. However, the monitor never sleeps. the screen saver will just run constantly. I leave the house for 5 hours come home, its still on. I go to sleep, when i wake its still on. Ive tried to search but only find issues with monitors not waking up. Please help.

Do you have set the BOINC screensaver to go to blank screen?

I found this setting you have mentioned, we will see if this allows for a monitor shut down. Thank you for the tip I never thought to look at the actually screen saver option.
