The screensaver on LWP may be configured to suspend or hibernate after a certain period of inactivity of mouse and keyboard. Sometimes this feature may crash or freeze the computer. This most often happens on computers with an more powerful videocard (NVidia) an/or in combination of certain software like Matlab.
Disabling these powermanagement features may also desirable when you want to leave your computer calculating for sometime without using keyboard and mouse.
