When you say blank, does the display come back with mouse movement or keyboard input? Or does it stay in a 'blanked' state? -- Cheers, Trey ---- Have you noticed that all you need to grow healthy, vigorous grass is a crack in your sidewalk?

is it set in your CMOS, perhaps under "Power Saving" or something similar?

CMOS is set to S3, which as I understand it is supposed to leave power saving functions up to the OS to control. -- "Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven."

Mouse movement or keyboard will bring it back instantly if done very soon after the blanking starts. However, as many old Sonys do, it warms up slowly, and takes longer to come back the longer it is left in a blanked state. My Sempron/GForce2 system that shares that display fully completes POST and gets into the Grub menu before the monitor warms up enough to display anything after the system has been shut off a while.
