Problems with NVIDIA Geforce4 MX 440
I recently installed a Verto NVIDIA Geforce4 MX 440 on my computer, games
run very well and all graphical processes are fast. However, we have an Energy Star Monitor that turns itself off after a while and, with my old graphics card, worked fine. Sometimes when the monitor turns itself off, I can move the mouse, and everything works fine. This is usually when only a short time has passed(1-5 min.) or when a long time has passed (12 hours +). The rest of the time, it a "This Program has Performed an Illegal Operation" message box shows up on my screen. The program it says has performed an illegal operation is "Science" which is the name of my screensaver (comes with windows). I turned my screensaver off, and the next time it had problems, the screen went completely black. So, the problem doesn't seem to be with my screensaver, but instead with the Energy Star stuff. I don't want to turn this off, because I like to save energy, and, I don't want to have to turn my computer off every time I leave the room, either. Thanx for the help! |

You don't say what operating system but try, Control Panel/Display/Settings/Advanced/Monitor and disable the,"Reset Display on suspend/resume. Also disable the APM(Advanced Power Management) in the BIOS as it's not needed on most windows machines and can conflict with Window's Power Management.
