My PC has an X570 auros master, and it has always had a hard time sleeping. When I let it sleep on any operating system the top row of USB 2.0 ports goes out, and sometimes it hangs and can’t wake at all. My preference would be to fix this issue, if possible. My current operating system is garuda (arch based), but I also have a KDE neon and win 11 machine installed if needed.

If it’s an issue without a good solution, I need to know how to protect my monitors from burn in and other runtime related wear without sleeping the PC. I tried the settings that turns off the screens without suspending, but when I woke them only one made it back up and the mouse couldn’t reach it, which makes me think the machine was frozen. I’m aware of and open to other solutions like a screensaver program or messing with DPMS. But I would prefer a more straightforward and integrated solution if possible.
