I have my Vizio HDTV to the HDMI port, and a second monitor to the DVI port. I used to be able to turn OFF the HDTV and/or the DVI monitor, and when I turned them back on I'd be back at my desktop. NOW, however, when I shut off the HDTV, it shuts down power to the PC. Anyone?

OMG...I had unplugged ALL my devices to place them in a different part of the room. When I plugged everything back in I didn't realize I plugged the TV into a "Smart" port on my Monster Power Strip...and it turned off the other devices. Switched the plug to a "Stupid" port and, VOILA, no problems.
