turning off my moniter makes Windows goes berserk

[xecutionr]

I recently installed windows 7 64 bit Ultimate edition. I did not have this problem with vista 64 bit.
I have a 32" Vizio lcd that i use the DVI to HDMI output cable.

When i power off my tv, my computer starts making the connect and disconnect sounds as if you were plugging in a flash drive and unplugging it repeatedly.

I went to class and came back to turn on my monitor and nothing showed, so i just took out my monitor cable and put it back in and vwala it worked. Went to eat so i turned off my tv, came back, powered my tv up, and no signal again, so i did the same thing with the cable, disconnected and reconnected. and it worked.

I have even gone into power settings so i know its nothing to do with that, does anyone know of a fix for this? it seems that its trying to (im going to use this term loosly) "ping" out the hdmi cable, looking for a monitor, this NEVER happend in vista.

Hi.

Are your graphics drivers up to date, before answering yes, check the version you have installed against the latest for you cards manufacturer.

Yep, i have th newest version, 196.75 from nvidia.com

Haven't got the foggiest. Will have to wait for someone else to help.

Sorry.

Edit: What model number is it?

 

[xecutionr]

model number of my video card? It's GX-260X-ADJF
Also I tried to just log off of my account and turn off the monitor, it seems to be working that way, it doesn't go nuts and try to keep connecting to my monitor, so it def. has to be windows 7. It never did this in vista lol.

The TV, I ask because there are a couple of firmware updates on the support page, so if yours is an applicable model it might be worth trying. Does it only happen when it's left for x amount of time, or can you switch it of and back on again and still have a signal?

 

[xecutionr]

Ohh ok, the model of the TV is VA320E

and to answer the second question, Say if i turn off my tv for like 3 sec, turn it back on it will connect, but after like a min. of my tv being off, it will say no signal when i am on the HDMI input on my tv for my pc. but like i said, if i log out and turn off the tv nothing happens. it is really weird lol

None for that though.

if i log out and turn off the tv nothing happens. it is really weird lol

I really don't know to be honest, and it's probably something simple.

Surely someone else has a view or a suggestion?

 

[xecutionr]

yeah i hope so, i mean if not i know how to work around it, but i would like to stay logged in when i leave my computer lol

Have you tried an older driver to see if that makes any difference?

So that TV is your only monitor? and it is plugged in using a HDMI port?

Probably nobody else has this problem because nobody uses a TV as their main monitor :/

Right click on the desktop and press "Screen Resolution", Does everything look normal? Try to change the resolution to see if it will work better...

Yes, i actually wiped the driver off at first, rebooted then reinstalled an older one, still didn't work, uninstalled, rebooted, and installed the newest ones that was released like 2 days ago.

yes and yes, everything looks fine, its just like i said it is trying to look for my monitor when i turn off my tv, i mean this never happend in vista so idk why it would start happening in windows 7....
