[dmaloof]

Hi, guys. I tried installing the latest nvidia driver 296. whatever and during installation, my monitor, a hp w2207, goes to sleep. then thre is no vga input or signal. I constantly have to reboot the pc. Last driver update went fine but this one is new or causes the monitor to sleep. Any advice? thx.

Yeah...skip this update and wait for the next. Its obviously not the best and it won't be last.

When it comes to video drivers I follow the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" theory.

The drivers I'm using are the ones that came with the card when I installed it, they seem to work fine for me. I guess I don't do anything that tests the card to it's limits.

Video Card Driver

Hi, guys. I tried installing the latest nvidia driver 296. whatever and during installation, my monitor, a hp w2207, goes to sleep. then thre is no vga input or signal. I constantly have to reboot the pc. Last driver update went fine but this one is new or causes the monitor to sleep. Any advice? thx.

Have you tried the DVI-D linkage, (depending on your video card). I checked website >http://clink.com.au/about/faq.htm, and it says the HP W2207, has a multitude of input/outputs? Including speakers, microphone. etc. even USB. I haven't used VGA for years, and will never go back. I get brilliant colors and clarity after selecting (tweeking) the monitor side selection interface. And, yes I do few Nvidia updates. Still using 270.61 on a GE Force 9800 GT.

See my post on Video issues! I reverted back to the previous Nvidia driver and got back on track.
