Stream gone "FREEZE SCREEN" after i turn off my monitor

[RayzInfinity]

Hi all,

Would like to seek some help.
I've currently streaming some mobile game and I'm going to leave it idle.
Hence, I switch off my monitor.
Few mins later, I went to my YouTube channel and saw the stream were freeze there but the audio is still running.
Any idea what's happening or what should I change in setting?

If you switch off the monitor, Windows seems to detect this and any apps on that monitor stop rendering their windows to conserve system resources. So don't switch off the monitor if you want the apps keep rendering.

Ahhhhh! I see... but any setting for me to tweak this?

As far as i am aware there is no way to keep the gpu giving output with no monitor.

1.you could lower the resolution of the screen to keep it idle.

2. if you have a NVidia card you could use MSI to cap the power limit. If you have a AMD card you could use EVGA Precision X (though I have never used it from a quick google search it seems to be pretty good)
