Which card? The latest drivers do not support cards from 9500 on down. Did you clean out the old drivers first? You need to list your system specs so that you can get better help.

What card, is it running hot? Is your memory good in your computer, there is lots of things that could cause this.

I have the same problem, my system is
intel core 2 duo with 1Gb ram
Motherboard P5B Deluxe

Have you find more people with this problem, I´ve submitted a ticke to ATI and sapphire but they have not reply yet.
When I use my LCD I could see in catalyst that my CRT monitor is detected as a LCD flat panel!! so may be catalyst tray to put in the crt a wrong resolution/refresh rate

The problem is that Cat driver above 6.4 are giving wrong instructions on refresh rates causing your monitor to go black. Wrong resolutions will cause verticle/horizontal to go screwy but you will still get some sort of picture. This has the potential of damaging your monitor if this is indeed the case. It would be nice to know what the CRT refresh rates are as they can fluctuate but most LCDs are static at 60Hz. I have read a few post that use 20-22" monitors and don't have this problems

OK I have cat 6.10 running on my computer with a x1900xtx with no problems in BF2 so far. I do not have wdm drivers installed for the moment because they are name something different then what Cat 6.3 calls them. I believe they are not being recognized properly but not sure. I am using ATI Tool to overclock my video card with no problems in games so far. I have AI set to standard.

Ive just experienced this HORRIBLE bug.
Everything was working fine on my Asus A7V600-X/X1600 Pro system. Until I decided to update from 6.4 to 6.10. The monitor is CRT running through and adapter out of one of the DVI.
After updating to 6.10 the monitor started going to standby when loging into windows. (Changing resolutions)
Ive tried EVERYTHING to fix it. Ive gone back to 6.7, 6.4 and about to try older (5.9 wont support the card). No luck yet. Even though I was using 6.4 before hand without issues.
I can enter windows in VGA mode, but as soon as i try to set the res or refresh the monitor again goes to standby.
Im using it through a remote desktop app at the moment. I checked the refresh rates and even with the proper drivers installed for the monitor, its not detecting the maximum refresh and by default had set itself to 200hz. Even after setting that back to 60/75/85 or anything else, it still wouldnt turn on.
Ive used driver cleaner between each install, even played around with the advanced settings in ATITT. None of which made a difference.
Ill see what happens after the older drivers. I cant imagine why the 6.4's are no longer working, as they were previously.
Tried another CRT and get exactly the same problem. Also tried 4 different DVI adpaters without luck. I discovered that using the alternate DVI port will cause the monitor to work, but its displaying everything with green tint.
Dont know what else to do.

The same problem with X1600 card
I have the same problem with my graphic card, Powercolor X1600 Pro 256Mb Agp.
System is changing resolutions, and after that goes black screen (similar to standby) or
monitor (CRT) is signalizing OUT OF RANGE.
My Mbo is Asus with Sis 648fx chipset.
Any solutions?
Thanks,
