Hi

I got my MacBook Pro 2 weeks ago and immediately set up the power preferences and screensaver options.

Basically, the screen saver only comes on when it feels like it and sometimes not at all. I have it set to activate after 2 mins and the display to go off after 5 mins. So many times the screensaver doesn't come on at all and the display just shuts down after 5 mins. On other occasions it comes on after a minute, sometimes at the correct time. It's just so unreliable.

What's happening??
