Hi everyone

The problem I am getting is that my dual monitors connected to the card do not wake up from sleep on Windows when using the latest NVIDIA drivers. Display remains black, even though other components inside the PC case seem to be running. I have to reboot with the reset button to get the display working again. The same applies for a Linux Mint installation I have. I have already gone through the process of fully uninstalling and reinstalling drivers to no avail.

The funny thing though is that sleep works fine on my hackintosh installation which is on the same PC. Provided I use the default NVDAGK100HAL driver that is. NVIDIA also provides more recent mac drivers ("web drivers") with which sleep is broken.

Here's some info on my setup. Core i7-2600K processor, ASUS-P8H67-V motherboard, EVGA Geforce GTX 780 SC graphics card.

What could the problem be?
