    I recently bought a Sager NP5160 and I have to say I'm loving this thing so far. The one thing that bothers me, though, is how it's screen automatically turns off if I don't move my mouse or something from 1 minute.

    I've made sure all the power saver options in windows are set correctly, so I'm not sure what else could be the cause of this.

    Anyone have this same problem and know how to fix it?

    hi and welcome to nbr
    it could be the screen saver set too low or your power setting. you can change the settings from 1 minute to never.
    click battery in bottom right > more power options > change plan settings for which you use most balanced/high/power saver and change the time from 1 minute to say 15 minutes.

    Went through each option and changed "turn display off after" to never. But it still turns off after 1-2 minutes of idle :(

    thats strange.
    try going to change advanced power settings and see if they are the same times set for display dim and display turn off.

    it might be worth sending your supplier a support message as there could be something in settings on this laptop i dont know about.
    good luck
