The drivers have not been updated for a while (GTX280) and, yes, this is
the first time I'm using the Digital Interface on a monitor, for a
period of time. Last Time was a Samsung where the DVI interface dies
after 2 or 3 days......

Is your monitor DVI, by chance? I've seen a number of times when this
happens using DVI displays (and who isn't DVI at this point...). Since DVI
is just a digital bus, the system/display driver has to "detect" the digital
device in order to use it. If this detection isn't working properly, the
issue you describe can occur. Usually, updating your video drivers is
sufficient to resolve that issue. I would suggest a full
uninstall/reinstall, rather than over-the-top installation.

Looks like steinie (JRS) is the genius, certainly not me. I'm not 100%
sure, but I just did a test after setting the main bios options to halt
for no errors. It didn't have a selection for halt on all except
video.
I'll do a more thorough test tomorrow, but this looks really good to
me.
I did not think that the MB would halt on a monitor not being present
after fulling booting into XP. Sheesh.

Most I have seen are set to just stop on Keyboard errors only..
Yours could be set to stop on all errors?
Well, the monitor issue is still open. Tried all sorts of keyboard
combinations to no avail. I really don't understand why either the
MB
or the OS would suspend or just halt with no monitor seen.
