monitor power management is garbage. (it workes fine on w98) Monitor sleeps after few minutes all normal but it wakes up few minutes later, without me doing anything. It happens periodicaly sleep, wake, sleep, wake... it sucks.
Hard drive power management works fine.
APM support is enabled.

Any ideas?
Please help.

Mine has gone into power saving ONCE. I forget to turn my monitor off sometimes and the thing is on for days. It would take MS to break something that was working fine.

But it still happens. I tested a bit more.

My normal setting are:
turn off monitor: after 3 minutes
turn off hard disks: after 10 minutes
The monitor goes standby after 3 minutes, and wakes up after ther disks turn off.

Then I tried
turn off monitor: after 10 minutes
turn off hard disks: after 10 minutes
After 10 minutes monitor just blinks, and stay on

turn off monitor: after 10 minutes
turn off hard disks: after 5 minutes
monitor doesn't enter sleep mode at all.

It sucks.
I had the same problem in win2000. The monitor sometimes didn't go to sleep at all. Perhaps I'll try a new motherboad.
