Hi guys, I've been having this problem ever since I installed win7. I was previously and XP user and had no probs with it until I installed win7.

Basically when I turn my monitor off and turn it on again, my PC restarts itself. It doesn't matter how long I turn the monitor off for - As long as I hit the off button on my monitor while my PC is still running, the moment I turn on the monitor, the PC makes a beep and restarts.

Any help will be greatly appreciated! :)
