[Bug 577303] Re: Moniter goes blank but is still active - periodic occurrence

[AndyC]

Jeremy,

I installed an Nvidia 9500GT graphics card and I am using the DVI output
instead of the VGA. I had heard that simply switching to DVI solved the
problem for a few folks, but this did not work for me. However, swithcing
graphics cards (ATI integarted to Invidia PCI) did the trick.

I can remove the Nvidia Card and test the ATI integrated graphics if you
like.

Thanks for checking in.

Andy
