well, I have been trying to find out which version of the driver the previous builds were using for nVidia cards. this little glitch is a major irritation because I like to keep my PC on, but my power-hungry monitor off.
PC restarts whenever monitor is switched off

if my solutions suck tonight my bad iv had a little bit to drink at this point, you could wait for a few more tech advanced people to comment but your best bet is to test those drivers first

I'm talking about the drivers for your monitor. Is it connected via USB?
According to this;

it has some power options via the menu. What exactly happens when you power it off? The PSU for the PC just cuts out or does it do a normal power-down? When you turn the PC back on does it do a Resume (from a sleep-state) or does it do a normal boot?

does the pc power off when the monitor turns off from power management settings? or just when the power button is pressed

no, it is connected via a DVI-B connector.
And TripOG, no worries. Thanks for the assistance.

I have not seen something like these in decades. I thought they no longer build monitors to do that! lol...... sorry...

can you try a differnet adapted like vga or so, either way it turning with just the power button check your monitor drivers, maybe try generic pnp drivers

i was using the generic drivers for the monitor before and switch to the Acer after I suspect something was wrong, but there was no change. The problem remains.

Not everything was designed to be hot-swappable. If W7 sees the monitor (or devices therein) suddenly vanishing, it's likely causing the power-down as a security measure.
