[Matrixcheck]

I have a machine with a Nvidia TNT 16mb card in it and when I turn it off the the next day turn it on the monitor does not come on. I have to unplug the computer first and then plug back in and it will turn the monitor on and the computer runs fine.

I ran into a board that had the same symptoms. In the end it turned out to be the motherboard. Most of the capacitors on the motherboard had puffed up tops, so they were not kicking out the power they should have. You might take a look at yours and see what they look like. It could also be a power supply getting weak.

Have you tried to make sure the power saving stuff isnt turned on in the BIOS?
Maybe a driver update? I just updated my work PC from NT4 to XP and installed the 41.09 drivers on the TNT2 it has..seems to be smoother than the XP installed ones...
