ultimate 3.2 dimming display problem


installed ultimate 3.2 and i love it, but my display keeps on randomly dimming. I have gone through all settings and cant seem to solve this. When it dims, the only way to restore is log out and in or restart-very frustrating.
Im on a pc, not laptop so i dont get why its dimming, checked power settings and gone through all other settings methodically to no avail....Please help.
thank you
steve

An sql error occurred while fetching this page. Please contact an administrator if this problem persists.
