System Sleep Criteria
As long as the system determines that there is application activity, it will
not put the system or any devices into the sleeping state. The system can
detect certain activities, such as user input or network communications.
However, there are other activities that the system cannot track. For
example, a presentation application requires the screen for display. However,
it may appear that the application is idle during the presentation, causing
the system to turn off the screen. These can be selected in Power Settings.
A Screen Saver is different from power settings [which switch off drives etc
or place the system in standby] and will activate and thus blank the display
or produce whatever effect is selected after a predefined period has elapsed
and no keyboard or mouse activity is detected.
