Im using xp and sometimes when I load windows, and even manage to get to
desktop mode - it suddenly switches to sleep mode and then might say "no
video input" I checked the drivers for updates and it is apparently up to
date.

Any suggestions please?

Got a screen saver enabled?

Is BIOS configured to put the system or video card into Standby or
Suspend mode? If so, disable it and just use the power management in
the OS.

Overclocking?

Fan still spinning on the GPU (graphics processor unit) on the video
card?

Running the voltage & temp monitor software from the motherboard maker
(to check volts and temps are within range)?

Wiggled the monitor connector to check for bad cable at video card and
monitor ends?

Does this happen only when you boot into Windows XP? Or will it occur
before Windows even gets to load, like if you pause anytime before
Windows starts to load or going into the BIOS screens?

When you get the desktop, right click on a blank area and click properties.
Click the 'screensaver' tab, then the 'monitor power' button.
Check that the values entered are realistic (like an hour or two). Click
apply if you change anything.
You don't specify, but if you are using a laptop, they will have separate
settings for when running on battery power.
There is also power saving section in most BIOS, but see how you go with the
windows settings for the moment
Hope this helps

In answer to your first question about the screen saver, no I dont have one
on.

In answer to your last request. My sincere apologies, I have disabled
outbound scanning. I didnt set it up - it just was set up automatically.

I dont really understand the bits in between, but tonight I havent had any
more problems. I did check all the plugs, so hopefully it might have solved
the problems.

Many thanks for your help
