I have Dell Latitude D620 with XP Professional, Core 2 Duo, 2G Ram. I have two docking stations – home and work. At home I use laptop screen – at work I have two Viewsonic VG2021s – when I use the docking stations the monitor will turn off after random periods of time and I can’t get them back up without turning of computer and letting it reboot. It doesn’t seem to turn off when idle, but when I am asking the computer to do something (open a window, open document, load new web sire adress). It seems to be Stable when I use the laptop out of either docking station. The display adapter/video card is an NVidia Quadra NVS 110M.
I have updated NVidia Driver – no effect. Two other recent changes they may be factors. First I stepped up (?) to Office 2007 which, aside from being a pig, I think may somehow be creating this issue. Second, about three weeks ago Dell installed a new mother board in my laptop (the old one had a loose screw short) and I’m wondering if this may be my problem.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
