First, here are my specs:
Athlon XP 2500+ 333 Barton
DFI NFII Ultra Infinity Motherboard
PNY Verto GeForce4 Ti4200
Crucial XMS 512MB RAM
Windows 2000 Pro
Now, the problem I am experiencing now is that sometimes the monitor off power save feature doesn't work. It can sit for a while day and the monitor stays on, which sucks, but other days it will work fine shutting off after 20 minutes of idling. Also, sometimes the computer won't turn on. It's like, I hit the power button and the fans and everything powers up, but the screen stays blank, there are no boot sounds, and the HD light stays on. I have to shut it down, and when I try it again it works.
A few weeks ago I had some strange rebooting problems. For no reason, doing whatever, it would just reboot. I thought it was a power issue, or a heat issue, but I think it eventually turned out to be a driver issue.
The weird thing is that I was having the problem with the monitor not turning off, then I installed updated video drivers. The rebooting problem stopped (ran Prime95 torture test for 9.5 hours, whereas before it would reboot often), and the monitor started shutting off again, but then it just recently stopped going into power save mode. Very strage. Any thoughts?
