Screen saver won’t stay off
My drives, system, monitors and screen saver are set to NEVER, but the screen saver won’t stay off.
When it comes on during an FCP or Motion render, it sometimes freezes or crashes the Mac. I end up with a screen saver, no mouse and no keyboard. The only way I can get back into the Mac is to hold the power button. Then, of couse, the render is gone. For long renders I have to stay at the computer, moving the mouse.
I have formatted the drive and done a clean install up to 10.4.5, FCP 5 suite, etc., no help.
Anyone know how to fix this?

Best bet might be to research this issue in the OS10 forum.
Most common recommendation is to create a new user account.

This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”

I’ll try the OSX forum. I’ve posted to Apple OSX forums without luck. Several people there report having the problem, but not their full system setup. I thought it might be an FPC related issue. Guess not if I’m the only one.
I tried the new user acount, no luck. I’ve tried a complete format and clean install, no luck. Apple and Tooltech Pro 4 show all hardware is OK.
Still getting a screen saver after 10 -15 minutes, even while rendering.
