i try evrything, new drivers, check running programs, check start up programs, but nothing

any ideas?

try to remember what you just installed or a new driver.
nothing else... try RESTORE back before this problem occured.

already tryed... program by program and evrything was normal, eaven after restart, problems started from next day :s
totaly confusing... I hope that wont be problem in final version...

I have the same problem. I used Vista, everything worked, and now I've upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate, and I have the same problem. Any solution?

I get the same thing with my PC, running Windows 7 Ultimate x64; it doesn't happen very often, and I'm using my computer most of the time so it doesn't bug me.... But perhaps it's something with the power management setup in Win7. I'd say all we can do is wait for MS to find the cause and release a hotfix to resolve the issue...

When it turns itself back on, is it by any chance running the screen saver?

Many moons ago, there was a problem with some crappy screensavers not checking monitor status before starting and if the "monitor off" timer was less than the "start screensaver" timer, the montor would actually turn back on to run the screensaver.

This is only an experiment... but have you tried setting the screensaver to 9 minutes with the monitor at 10?

I have the screensaver turned off, and the problem occures.

Ok, never mind... The point was not whether you had a screensaver installed or not... it was the setting of the timers. The timers still run, even if there is no screensaver.
