Default monitors shutting down.

I run a nvidia card and sometimes my monitors will just go off.I have to cold boot the pc to get them back on.Whats the deal with this.It's just when I am in a game.Not even a good game.Monster Garage for example.

Are all the power settings set to "Never turn off" in Power Management?

Yes they are.the screen saver plays right.It doesn't shut them down then.It will be right in the middle of a game and they will just go black.

Sounds like you've got overheating issues. What kind of nVidia card do you have?
