Dell 2005fpw problem

[TekSomniaK]

For some reason on a pretty frequent basis whenever I leave my computer and the monitor turns off after like 30 minutes, sometimes I can't get it to kick back on. Anyone know why this is? I have a CRT hooked up to the same card as well and it never happens to it. Could it be because I'm running SLI or is a DVI problem? When I can't get it to kick back on I have to hard reboot my computer and I just can't have that, especially if I needed to get back to something important.

It may be that windows is automatically turning it off.
Start > Control Panel > Power Options, set "turn off monitor" to never.

Weird, it was already set to never yet both monitors turn off after a length of time (by that I mean they come back on after activity like moving the mouse)
