I may have made a thread about this before, but oh well.

I just installed Windows Vista Home Basic on this computer (a fresh HDD) and I am having problems. My monitor keeps shutting off (or appears to be hibernating, i.e. the light goes from blue [powered on] to orange [sleeping]). I thought this may have been a graphics card issue, but I have installed the latest NVIDIA drivers and have used this card for a good while and it has worked fine. Can somebody please tell me what it might be? Thanks in advance.

Note: I also changed my setting to 'NEVER' turn off my monitor.

When does it turn off? While you're using it or after a period of time? Is Vista the only thing you changed - i.e. all other hardware remains the same?

Did you check the Power Management settings in Device Manager for your gfx card and monitor?

Does the Monitor require a driver or is it listed as Plug and Play...??

Lmao. I don't believe the monitor requires any drivers (that I can remember). And the video driver is up-to-date.
