Default Re: OT: Very strange computer crash

Aaaiiiiieeee!!!

I've been plagued by this for years. And I have dramatically different hardware. My video card is a Matrox G450 and I thought it was some quirk of the MB that I have (Asus A7V133) interacting with it. The only solutions I have found are 1) To wait for the time usually needed to trigger the deactivate monitor timer in Windows. I.E. stop using the machine completely for 20 minutes or more. Then when you touch a key the 'reactivation' happens as it should. Or 2) Keep pressing Alt-F4/Ctrl-F4 and 'enter' or 'Alt-O' (for 'OK') to make everything running shut down. Eventually you get to Windows itself and when the system reboots the video comes back.

The possibility that this annoying problem is a general problem with computers is really scary. At least it doesn't happen very often.
