Monitor Switches Off Despite Settings
Older But No Wiser

My monitor keeps turning itself off after a while and I've double, triple checked power settings and everything is set to "Never". The same settings in Vista don't give me any problems.
Is this a bug?
Also I notice than often when opening IE8 I get "Internet Explorer has Stopped Working" pop-up yet the page opens anyway.
Another known issue?
I dropped IE8 beta in its early stages as it gave me too much trouble. Now I'm stuck with it in Windows 7, if I'm not using Firefox of course.

Firefox runs smoothly, even with various skins, add-ons etc.
