Just built a new computer, swapped my radeon 4850 out of my old dell (which never ever had problems with each other) and put it in this computer. Now my monitors go into standby at random times and the only way to bring them back is by shutting off the computer. From what I've read, this is a common problem with no clear cut solution.
What i've done: uninstalled and reinstalled latest driver; put the card back in my dell with both monitors = ran fine, no problems. Ran Furmark, I guess my card starts at about 88celsius, which is high, but should be tolerable for this card.
I don't think it's the driver or power supply (650w). I doubt it's heat, because my computer runs pretty cool (although this is possible). It's not the monitors or their chords/connectors. It's not a windows setting as everything is set to ALWAYS ON. The graphics card is not even a year old.
Any suggestions?
