No video on resume from sleep

[Participant]

Anyone else had this and resolved it?

Occasionally, I sleep Windows 7 (sleep as in suspend to RAM only) and when I switch it back on, everything sounds like it should with fans whirring and lights etc., only I get zero video. I have to hold down the power button and reboot. It's the same on two different monitors.

GPU is a Radeon HD6950.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

What graphics connection are you using? mini/DisplayPort?

DVI.

In that case I'm not sure what the problem could be. Have you also tried using different DVI cables to make sure the problem doesn't lie there?

List your pc specs,usually its a ram setting or a motherboard BIOS update is needed

I've got two monitors on two DVI cables and the same thing happens on both.

I had this problem too! the only fix i have found to work is not install any Windows updates, have tested this on 3 PC's and it works.
