Monitor doesn't power off

Hi everyone,


as the subject says, I have a problem with my computer: the displa
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 i
giving random input. Also, when I shut down the computer, the displa
jumps to powersaving, so the display works fine.

I've already tried a lot of things to solve it and I hope that someon
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 an
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 an
safemode)
- Use the latest BIOS for my motherboard (S3 mode is set to enable
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

Have you looked at your S3 settings in the BIOS setup configuration?

Hi Mark,


the BIOS is configured to use S3 mode, and there are no monitor related
settings (gigabyte ds3).

However, I think that these settings are only relevant in sleep mode.


thanks.
