    Got my 3rd replacement a week ago.

    I have set the screen to dim after 1 min and turn off after 2.
    I have done this setting by clicking on the battery button and then clicking on "more power options"..
    I also went in the command centre and selected- alienfusion.. high performance.. advance settings and madd sure that the correct values were entered there too.
    I have tried this both on balanced mode and high performance mode.

    I had done a fresh install and installed drivers exactly according to batboy's list. I have basically the same softwares installed on my thinkpad l420. That works fine.

    Any ideas how to resolve this?
