I have the ATI Radeon 4650 with 1GB GDDR5 memory. ... according to HP. I've never been able to find that card/config listed at AMD/ATI's website. I'd previously bought the Samsung monitor rather than getting it with the PC. I'm running Win7 Home Premium. I let all Win7 updates happen automatically. And HP automatically does its update check weekly.

It will probably be a couple of weeks before I get this figured out, but I'll be sure to share the results. I suspect it is not something to do with cables, because I swapped out the HDMI with VGA and had the same failures. I have not had a display failure for about 36 hours so there is a chance it did have something to do with Intel AMT which I have uninstalled. fwiw, I found out the one device that is flagged with no drivers installed is "Intel 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset Family HECI Controller" en.wikipedia.org I wont reinstall any drivers that have to do with AMT so long as my video adapter is stable now...which it may be. Whether or not I can really blame the AMT devices remains to be seen.
