Windows 7 Troubles turning off display win7 RC

[stallion]

Hi!
I am running on my notebook Windows 7 RC 64bit ( build7100). I had a problem, which actually occured in all Win7 builds I tried ( build 7048, 7057, 7068, 7077). In Power Options I activated the option "Turn off Display" for 5 minutes. Well the display turns off indeed, but after 2-3 seconds it turns ON again! I thought it has something to do with the drivers for the graphic card (GeForce 8600GT). Now I just installed the 185.81 drivers for Win7 x64 from Nvidia webpage. I tried also with the 185.68 for Vista x64, with the drivers from Windows Update (petty old) and also wit the drivers from the manufacturer (MSI). No success! I restored the default settings fro every power plan and I rstarted after - No success. The display turns always on after few secs. The Scree Saver (when I activae it) is working without problems. I deactivate Hibernate state, but I don't think it has anything to do with turning off display,or? On the same Notebook I have Win XP Prof x32 and Vista x64 installed. On these two OS the problem doesn't occur. I use a wireless connection with Intel wifi 4965AGN which is always on. But also when I turn off the Wlan card the problems stays. I deactivate "allow wake times" in Power Options and I also install a program named "Turn Off Monitor", but even when I use this program, the dispaly turns off and then after 2 sec...Guess what! It is ON again! I have the actual drivers for all components (checked with DriverUpdate, Driver Genius, windows Update), I use no LAN, and the settings in BIOS for Power Options I wouldn't change them, since in windows Vista x64 everything is ok.
Do you have any suggestions about this? I would really appreciate it!
Thanks a lot!

It seems like you are encountering an issue where the display on your Windows 7 RC 64-bit notebook keeps turning back on shortly after being turned off via the "Turn off Display" power option. Despite trying different graphics card drivers and various settings adjustments, the problem persists. Here are some troubleshooting steps and suggestions you can try to resolve this issue: 1. Update BIOS and Firmware: - Ensure that your BIOS and firmware are up to date. Sometimes, outdated BIOS can cause power management issues. 2. Check Device Manager: - Confirm that there are no conflicting devices or driver issues in Device Manager that could be causing the display to turn on unexpectedly. 3. Power Settings: - Check advanced power settings in Power Options. Look for settings related to waking the display and adjust them as needed. 4. Disable Scheduled Tasks: - Sometimes, scheduled tasks or processes can wake the display. Check Task Scheduler for any tasks that might interfere with the display turning off. 5. Check Event Viewer: - Review Event Viewer logs for any errors or warnings related to power management that could provide more insight into the issue. 6. Update Other Drivers: - Apart from the graphics card driver, make sure all other drivers are up to date, including chipset drivers, network drivers, and any other relevant drivers. 7. Power Troubleshooter: - Run the Power troubleshooter in Windows to see if it can identify and fix any power-related issues automatically. 8. Disable Automatic Updates: - Temporarily disable automatic updates to see if any software update might be triggering the display to turn back on. 9. Check for External Devices: - Disconnect all external devices and peripherals to see if any of them are causing the issue. 10. Check for Third-Party Software: - Some third-party software can interfere with power settings. Temporarily uninstall any recently installed software to see if it makes a difference. 11. System File Checker: - Run the System File Checker tool to scan and repair corrupted system files that could be related to power management. After trying these steps, monitor the behavior of your display to see if the issue has been resolved. If the problem persists, further troubleshooting may be needed. Let me know if you need more assistance or if you have any updates on the situation!
