201400 2003-12-18 06:22:00 Can anyone offer some useful tips here. Power settings turn screen off after 30minutes but moving an arrow key or mouse will not wake the screen up again. Gigabyte 7VAXP Ultra MB, Win 98 SE, Athlon 1800, Geforce 4 video card. I dont like rebooting to get the screen going again so have set the screen power off to never and use a screen saver. just like to know whats going on.
thanks

201402 2003-12-18 06:48:00 Agree with Peter H there, check BIOS for power settings and "wake on" settings. Your Motherboard book should be able to fill you in a little more in depth. I have the 7VA MOBO and it has no problems (using XP). Pheonix (280)

you were absolutely right, Ive built this computer using a near new MB and the PME event wake up had been disabled in BIOS, default value is enabled. thanks
