I have an AMD Athlon 1.4GHz, EPoX - 8K7A MoBo, and a TNT2 32Mb Video card. (My 64Mb Radeon hasn't arrived yet :( ) For some reason, when I leave my system on overnight, and turn the monitor switch on in the morning, I get absolutely no display. No screen saver, no nothing. Once or twice I leave this to chance, as my DELL used to do it occasionally. But it is happening too frequently. Here is how it is setup now: The screen saver comes on after 10 minutes, and the monitor shuts off after an hour. (The thing is, I shut the monitor off manually with a switch, so the auto shut off shouldn't be a factor any way) The box is running Windows 98 SE, and the hard drive is set to never shut down. It seems to only be extended periods of time (i.e. longer than 3 hours). Any ideas? Need anymore specific information? Let me know.

Thanks
