X800XT: black screen after computer has been accessed through remotedesktop
Hi,
Little troublesome issue here. I have long been using a 9800XT on an Abit IC7, then replaced it with a X800XT and everything as always worked as advertised. Now I replaced the motherboard with an ASUS PAP800SE since the IC7 is fried, and I have the following problem: I access my computer from work, using remote desktop. When I get home in the evening, my computer is still running, and can be accessed using remote desktop from my laptop for example using the local network. However the monitor is black and does not receive any signal from the computer, and it's impossible to wake it up. It's not in standby mode, I disabled all power saving options and just shut down the monitor in the morning when I leave. If I reboot the computer using remote desktop, the monitor comes to life normally. Updated cat 5.7 to 5.8 yesterday to see what happens, doesn't seem to be a driver issue. I don't see any power management options in the motherboard BIOS related to waking up the video. If I access the computer using remote desktop from an other computer in the house, the screen normally goes to the welcome menu, and does not turn black. Apparently it turns black only after I am away for a few hours, even if I work continuously on the computer using remote desktop. Any suggestion ? Thank you Lorenzo |

First suggestion: Clean install of Windows XP SP2. Subsequently apply all
critical updates from Windows Update. Second suggestion: Update chipset drivers and possibly BIOS version. Tony "Lorenzo Sandini" wrote in message ... Hi, Little troublesome issue here.

Is this a CRT or LCD? Connected through the DVI port?

In that case, the card is probably not initializing with the DVI port set as
primary. -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means. It can therefore be said that politics is war without bloodshed while war is politics with bloodshed."

I had the exact same problem as you with a X800 PE card, and a uninstall of
the drivers and install of the newest drivers on ati's site solved my issue. Hope this helps you. Ric "Lorenzo Sandini" wrote in message ... Hi, Little troublesome issue here.

Similar issues reared their head in 5.7 and 5.8. |
