    My screen is dimming after a few minutes while watching a movie or something. It hasn't started happening until today. I checked the dim feature for windows and the Alienware command center, both of them are set to never dim, and its still doing it. Help?

    The only way to fix it is to FN+F4. moving the mouse does nothing.

    You could look in windows power options and make sure if on socket set to max performance.

    Change, create, or delete a power plan (scheme)

    Is that happening using the PC screen or external screen?
