Sleepy monitors

A plea to the guru fraternity if I may.
Ladies/Gentlemen, my custom (homebuilt) desktop is causing me angst, to put it politely.
Currently, I am running two 24" monitors from a Radeon R9 200, not exactly high end obviously. Despite the fact that all the display settings in device manager and monitors are set to 'sleep never', after 45 seconds or so of inactivitiy both monitors go to sleep mode.
By inactivity I mean, no mouse movement and only static images onscreen.
The slightest movement of the mouse, brings them back online, albeit after about three seconds.
My system comprises:

Gigagyte mainboard with an AMD FX-6300 Six core CPU and 16gb of RAM, together with the already mentioned Radeon R9 200.

I've 'played' about with the settings, even trying a system restore to before this problem became apparent, but all to no avail.
I'm reasonable compuer literate, in that I can build 'em and set them up, but software leaves me cold.

So kind people, can anyone shed some light or have experience of this sort of thing that they can enlighten me with please?
