Does anyone know how to fix this problem on Windows 7?

A while ago, I put my computer on Hibernate, and ever since, every time, if I don't move the mouse for 1 minute the screen goes black and then it goes into a screen that says something like "User Blocked" and I have to click on it to get the screen back. I can't even read articles on the web or questions here without the screen going black after 1 minute, I have to keep the mouse moving continuously or type something.

I tried changing the settings on Power Options and still it keeps going black after one minute if I don't move the mouse.

What else can I do to fix it?

    Go back in and find the location for how long till hibernate (or something like that) because you have it set at 1 minute. I wouldn't set it for less than 30 minutes to 1 hour.

  • just perform a system restore to a date before you was having this problem. I know for sure this will work.
