Hey all,
I had a strange thing happen to me today with my Hanns-G Monitor.
I'm not sure if it is a problem with the monitor itself, my graphics card (an Asus GTX 560 non-Ti DCII), or simple display settings on Windows 7.
Basically, I went out to mow my lawn while WoW patched and Steam downloaded HL2 & TF2. All was fine and dandy.
When I came back, my NZXT front LED was blinking, and my monitor was off. I thought to myself "Okay, it probably just fell asleep". However, upon trying to "wake it up", my Hanns-G monitor told me that there was no video card connected.
I turned everything off, including the PSU power switch itself, and tried again. This time I got the same error, then the computer restarted itself quickly (like it has been doing each time I update drivers & restart), the error appeared once more, then the normal loading screens appeared; But when it came time for the Windows Logo to appear, the screen went black and took an additional minute for Windows Login to appear.
Did I just have too much going on at once for my monitor to handle in sleep mode + display off mode?
Now, each time I start my computer, my Hanns-G says "no video input detected", but immediately goes away a second later and then everything boots up fine.
Is this because my Windows 7 settings were set to have the computer fall asleep within 30 minutes of inactivity, was it because I had no screen saver set, or was it because the "turn off display after x amount of time" triggered?
Is there some kind of problem with Hanns-G monitors, that when the computer display gets turned off, the computer goes in to sleep mode, and/or no screen saver is activated, that the monitor gets confused?
I turned both "turn off monitor" and "sleep mode" settings to "never", and made a screen saver option trigger after 15 minutes. Is that the best solution? Should I have a "display off" or "sleep" setting up just in case the screen saver doesn't trigger?
Excuse my ignorance if this is a simple problem, I just build this beast yesterday, and prior I have been using a laptop, which has an integrated display; thus I'm not used to external display monitors. So naturally, when I saw this problem, I almost had a heart attack thinking something was wrong with my GPU. (or worse)
Thanks so much to anybody who can help!
