Hi everyone,
This is one of four major issues I am having with the Intel G35 chipset in my Asus P5E-VM HDMI motherboard. I am using it in my HTPC.
Here is my setup. I am using all of the latest drivers and updates from the various manufacturers:
*** Hardware ***
Intel E8400 CPU
Asus P5E-VM HDMI motherboard w/ BIOS 0405 (2008/01/02)
OCZ 2x2GB DDR2-6400 SLI 5-4-4 memory
Aver PCIe Combo (R780) Media Center Upgrade (SDTV, ATSC/QAM, S-video inputs)
SMC 802.11a/b/g 108Mbps PCI wireless
*** Software ***
Windows XP SP2 + all updates (4/14/2008)
Intel Graphics Driver v6.14.10.4935 (3/20/2008)
Intel Chipset Driver v8.3.1.1009 (9/24/2007)
Realtek Audio Driver v1.90 (2008/3/31)
Aver R780 Driver v2.5.0.19 (10/03/2007)
Aver MediaCenter v1.6.1.2 (10/03/2007)
Epson Home Cinema 720p (1280x720 @ 60Hz)
Creative Inspire 7800 (7.1 speakers)
My desktop resolution resets from 1280x720 to 640x480 when I boot WinXP with display turned off. Happens every time, even when PC wakes from powersave while display is off (ex: bump mouse, PVR software kicks in). The only workaround is to turn on the display before booting or waking the PC. Since I am using the PC as a HTPC to drive a 720p projector, I cannot leave the display on. Projectors run hot, they use a lot of power (200W/230W), and bulbs have a limited life (2000/3000 hours).
Intel customer support's response was nonsensical. I think they tried to power cycle the display while the PC was still on. That is not the problem I described at all.
Any help or information you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
Is this a known problem with the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3500 drivers? Is it a problem in the G35 chipset? Perhaps the problem is in Windows itself. I have no idea, but I really don't like the inconvenience of having to change my desktop resolution over and over again.
