Ive installed a fresh copy of every single Vista Beta that released, and they
all do the same thing. when im just doing basic things with it, the screen
goes blank. and the computer stays turned on. I have all the latest drivers
from ATI and creative.
The monitor just shuts off and i have to reboot the computer and then it
happens again. I dont think the screen saver was turning on since I wasnt
idle. Anyone know about this or is it just me?

I have the same problem as well. Sometime the screen freezes in the middle
of working. And after leaving it on some time, my CRT monitor screen is
blank, telling me there is no input. and won't come on again. Luckily I have
a sleep button on my keyboard. Hitting that puts Vista in Sleep mode, from
which I can then easily recover, making the display come alive again. No
errors in the Event Log (as Vista probably thinks nothing is wrong). Odd,
very odd.
GPU= ATI Radeon X850, latest drivers installed.
 
BTW I am running Vista Build 6000 (RTM)
