Video card freaks out when returning from sleep mode??

[Spoon]

I have a TNT2 and sometimes when I bring the moniter back from sleep mode I get a rash of vertical and horizontal blue lines..

any ideas

obviously they disappear on a reboot

What drivers are you using? I heard that the refernece drivers would cause this, I think, don't hold me to it.

5.22 dets

Try the ones that came with the card or download them from the manufacturers site.

Same problem Here too I have not had this problem until about a month ago. I have tried the 5.14 , 516 and the 5.22 drivers. They all do it on my pc.

I've seen this happen a few times....
I'm pretty sure what Vikaden said is right. Whatever type of card it is, go to that manufacturer's site and download their latest drivers. Some people seem to have problems with the reference drivers for some reason...not really sure why. My friend just had the same problem you described a week ago when he put in a Elsa Erazor X (1st gen. Geforce). When we updated the drivers with the latest from Elsa the problem was instantly solved. Hope this works for you.

Do you overclock your card? Try upgrading the BIOS. BIOS update fixed my problem before.
