    Greetings.

    I did some searches but couldn't find anything particularly conclusive...

    I have my MBP set to put the screen to sleep after 5 mins of inactivity and system to sleep after 10 mins.

    This works fine when not plugged in, but when connected to the power the screen goes to sleep but not the computer.

    Any ideas? I am not running any apps in the background except Quicksilver...

    There are 2 tabs (Battery and power adapter). Make sure you have changed the settings in the power adaptor section.
