Monitor blanks out while watching videos

Any idea where I begin trouble-shooting? I'll be watching a video on Amazon, and the screen goes blank for 10-20 seconds. Then the monitor comes back with the "HDMI No input" blue screen, and then the video continues, without showing what was missed.

It sounds like the system went to sleep. You could either change the options in Power Manager or use presentation mode to keep it active when you want to watch a movie.

Is this a desktop or laptop?

Desktop, and I just checked the Power manager. It was to engage after 10 minutes, so it sounds like you're right. Thanks! No real need for the power manager.

Hey, just a follow-up. I watched a couple hours of video with no interruption, thanks!
