Vista sp1 keeps turning monitors off

magnus33 · Apr 1, 2008, 05:56 PM

Vista sp1 keeps resetting the power options for my monitors back to 20 min.

I have changed it to never gone into advanced options and changed that to never but it keeps going back.

This seems related to the installing of a 8600 gts.

Did a fresh install same issue.

Using latest drivers.

Any ideas?
