Display keeps changing to 16bit when TV is turned off.

Odd one this.

My media center is always on and connected via DVI to my TV.

When I turn my TV off for any period of time, I turn it back on and I get a msg in VMC that my display has changed to 16bit. This only happens when the TV is turned off. When off, ATI system events start to fill up my system event log. I turn the TV on again, and they stop.

Im guessing this is something to do with HDCP or something bugging out when it cant find a HDCP connection at the end of the DVI lead. Its only started to do this since I upgraded with the TV Pack and ATI cat 8.8. (did them both the same time)

I'v tried alsorts, someone said make sure the Display Power setting is changed to 6 mins, but that dont work.

Its very annoying... Is this a bug in the 8.8 Cats or the TV pack??

AMD 780G, 4050e, 4GB, Vista64

cheers

This would be an ATI 8.8 issue. I have the same thing (intermittantly) and I haven't installed the TV pack. It appears to me from the logs that the drivers don't always come out of sleep cleanly, and when it crashes/restarts, it picks the simple way out.

I reverted the drivers to 8.6.
