Monitor doesn't power off


Hi everyone,


as the subject says, I have a problem with my computer: the display
doesn't turn off after the configured time set in the active power plan.
The screensaver works fine, so it's not that (for example) a mouse is
giving random input. Also, when I shut down the computer, the display
jumps to powersaving, so the display works fine.

I've already tried a lot of things to solve it and I hope that someone
can help because I don't know what to do know....

Things I've tried:

- Set a different time in the power plan, set time time to disabled and
enabled again.
- Disable all wakeon devices by using powercfg
- Install a generic monitor driver instead of the Samsun 204B one.
- Use the secondary DVI port
- Update to the latest Nvidia drivers for my 7600GT
- Run Vista with all programs disabled (both tried msconfig and
safemode)
- Use the latest BIOS for my motherboard (S3 mode is set to enabled
according to powercfg).
- Installed the latest Intel INF files
- Create a new power plan
- Tried a different screensaver


So what can I try now?


thanks!
