| Guest | Monitor powers down? Hi, My monitor powers down during some games. I dont run many new games. But the only 2 i have ran are. Tiberium Wars C&C 3 And a Beta Fury, MMORPG> Unreal 3 engine. Roughly 20minutes into a game my Monitor will go into standby. and the only way to solve this is to reboot my PC. Full Power off. My Idle monitor off timer was 20minutes. But ive even turned this off. Set to never turn anything off. and still nothing. Intel e6600 2.5ghz 4mb cache Corshair xms2 2gb x1950 pro, 512mb Specs. any help would be appreciated. |

| Guest | Re: Monitor powers down? Can you check what is set in your power options? Start/Orb, type power, click on Power Options On the left click on the link to control when your computer sleeps. What does it say?

| Guest | Re: Monitor powers down? Have you checked your Power Settings in the Control Panel. Maybe the PC doesn't recognize the use and puts it to sleep. There have been several issues with sleep/hibernation in Vista. You might try turning off the Power saving options and see if that helps. -- Dustin Harper dharper@vistarip.com http://www.vistarip.com -- "Pantho" <Pantho@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:0CCF7AC2-EE86-4D97-9D6E-94551A5085B6@microsoft.com... > Ive searched event logs. > > Not found anything in past 24 hours, that links to Sleep/Standby, or > Fury.exe > > I have found that my computer is going into SLEEP mod.
