Often, Windows 7 users face a problem - a monitor screen or a laptop display spontaneously dips after some activity time. This is not a crash and not breakage - the computer either disables the display, or goes into sleep mode. Today we want to talk about how to cope with this problem.
How to turn off attenuation
