Monitor suspend freezes computer?

[pyrrhus]

HELP! I'd like to leave my computer on most of the time, but I can't. I've got it set to turn off the monitor after 15 mins of inactivity. Every time I try to wake it up, it freezes. The monitor will come back on, but it only displays random vertical lines. Where should I start to fix this?

The wierdest part is, it did the same thing before I upgraded everything. I've reinstalled all the latest drivers and reinstalled Windows several times. I can't figure out what it is...

My system is :
ASUS A7V (was a Tyan Trinity 400)
Athlon TB 1ghz (was a P3 500e)
384mb PC133
Hercules 3d Prophet II Pro (was an ASUS v6800 Geforce256 DDR)
Xitel Storm Platinum
Linksys LNE100tx NIC

It sounds like you don't have the right driver for the monitor, but I'm just guessing at that. Try downloading a driver from the monitor manufacturers web site. See what that does.

If I had the problem I would try another monitor.

I have the most recent driver for the G400. Before, I was using an ADI MicroScan 6p (also with the correct drivers), and the computer did the same thing. I've also tried several 15" monitors I have laying around. It's not the monitor, but thanks anyway.

Any more ideas?

Please?

Are you shutting the monitor down via the bios or the os?

I set Windows 98 to shut off the monitor after 15 mins.
