Monitor Powerdown problem

I too have a Reactor 3D board, and am experiencing the monitor powerdown issue. When you guys talk about upgrading the Bios, are you talking about the Bios on the Reactor, or my Motherboard? I have an Award Bios on my motherboard, how would I go about upgrading it if that is what is needed, and which version should I get? Thanks for the info. Todd

It's a known problem with the Reactor's rev58 BIOS. The newest version (rev73) that I'm beta testing has all but eliminated it. -- Emory University Graduate School of Arts & Sciences Nascar Setups Page: http://userwww.service.emory.edu/~ebusch/

Hi Eric, Is this a monitor Energy Saving problem where the Monitor Shut Down Mode kicks in but when moving the mouse in Windows, it won't wake up the monitor? I have that problem but I'm not sure it's the Reactor card or something that I might have installed software-wise on my system. --- Frank ---

No. For some reason they still haven't fixed that. You can't use energy savings modes with the Reactor, as the monitor will never wake up. The problem I was referring to was the tendency for the monitor to powerdown and lock up the system when exiting a full-screen DOS session back to the Win95 desktop. -- Emory University Graduate School of Arts & Sciences Nascar Setups Page: http://userwww.service.emory.edu/~ebusch/
