Display problem

Here's my problem...I've had my computer goin for over a year and had zero problems at all. All of a sudden the other night my monitor goes into power save mode. Nothing would wake it up. I finally restarted my computer, the monitor came up, but as soon as it went to go to the regular windows screen, the monitor immediately went back into power save mode. I restarted again in power save mode and the monitor worked fine. I removed my graphics driver and restarted the computer...monitor works but looks like crap. The second I re-install the graphics driver the screen goes back into power save. I've tried the driver off of my cd, one off of leadtek's website, and one off of driverguru, all with the same effect. I've got an ASUS A7V333 mobo (socket A with AMD chip) and a Geforce graphics card. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
No, I haven't tried that. But it's been workin for well over a year how it was set up.

I would think that is what the problem is though :(.. It may have worked fine for a year but monitors dont last forever so it's entirely possible that yours is on its way out. When you uninstal the drivers and it works fine do you check the refresh rate then? it's prob. running at a much lower refresh at this point as well as the resolution.

When you have the driver installed have you tried to boot into safe mode? If it's possible then boot into safe mode and crank the resolution and the refresh right down and re-boot back into normal and see if it runs. if it does then slowly turn up first the refresh then the resolution one step at a time until which point it fails. then reboot back into safe mode and leave em at the last point in which they worked and reboot again.

Edit:

I noticed you mentioned your mobo and graphics card but not the monitor ;). And is it an LCD or CRT?
