That all sounds bad. It is a brand new desktop and a brand new monitor. More research. SighOn 04/05/16 17:28, barnaby@xxxxxxxxxxxx wrote:Just set up my new computer. Had a bit of playing around of course. Just two problems so far. The screen goes blank every minute or so, stays blank for a few seconds and then opens up to where it was before. I have disabled the screen saver, so where do I look next? Desktop computer. Xubuntu 16.04 Second, I would like to be able to log in from a USB stick or some such. However when I put a stick in place, and then restart, I canât get anything to show on the screen. It just remains blank. However it will read from a USB stick when I am using it to store some files. While I have been writing this the screen has blanked out about 10 times. Does anyone have any ideas please? NeilInitial thoughts .. - Graphics driver? - Faulty monitor - swap out - power supply issue on the PC causing graphics hiccups (or lack of power if you have a dedicated graphics card) That would be my first few tests .. I would highly doubt it has anything to do with power management .. that's more like "unintended behaviour" .. !! MJE
