| Monitor switches to power save
Greetings:)
My sons pc has ben acting up, the monitor started to automatically go into power save mode. I checked the power settings and found that it was set to do that after 20 minutes, which by the way before that it was set to be always on. I switched monitors and it still does the same thing. This was doing this before and after we put a new graphics card in.(Nvidia 5600) It's running XP, 512 ram, p3. Could this be a virus or maybe it's from my son banging on the table that the pc sits on?
Thanks:) |

| Does it go into power save WHILE he's on it or after it's left for a while? Have you checked in your new video card settings and BIOS for the other power saving options?

Buffalo, NY | It goes into power save while he is on, usually 5-10 minutes. I am going to check the BIOS settings now:) Thanks for the great advice!! |

Buffalo, NY | Another thing is my husband hooked my son's pc up to his monitor and there is absolutly no problem. He's been playing WOW for a few hours now and the system has been stable, no freezes...nothing?? Maybe he needs a new monitor? |

What are the differences between the two monitors?? What happens if you hook your sons monitor to your hubby's computer? Same thing?
