MacBook Screen Goes Black

Hello again, like I said in earlier posts I am new to Mac. Love the hell out of it!!

The past couple of days I have noticed a weird phenomenon happening. The screen goes black for a second, like it is trying to switch to the screen saver. But I have been using the machine and the idle timer should not have started any of the times.

Is there a setting that I may have messed up or is it a lot worse that just a click of button?

Thanks for the help!

Might be an active corner setting, i.e. you're moving your mouse cursor to a corner that's setup to activate the screensaver. You'll find those in the Screensaver preference pane.

That could be it! I am going to turn them off and see if that fixes the problem.

Thanks for the reply.

Thanks for you help again, that was the fix or I should say the reason why the screen was going black.
