I have two Samsung Syncmaster 225BW widescreen 22in monitors, each hooked up to a HP DX5152 workstation, and both have a Radeon Express 200 video card. They've got XP Pro, .NET framework 2.0, and the latest catalyst drivers. BOTH are exhibiting the same problem:
Randomly, even if in use, the monitor will "shut off", and go into the auto method to try to find a signal. It looks like what would happen if you unplugged the monitor cable or something. The only fix is to reboot the PC. Nothing shows up as an error, in the event viewer, nothing. We're pretty much out of things to try, short of replacing the video cards next (I don't know, they might even be onboard chips?) but these are brand new monitors. Any ideas? Thanks for any help!
