We had a few of the screens at work start doing that the other week. Dell machines. Turned out to be a problem on the motherboards.
What? I have a dell
witch:
My sympathies.
ZephyrZodiac:
And the screens can't be switched off/on independently?
I have the same, or very close, graphics card to yours, which got better when I got rid of the drivers that came on the installation cd with the driver, and used the (supposedly identical, but apparently not) drivers that I downloaded a while back to upgrade my old graphics card. Do you by any chance still have a copy of your old drivers?

I don't have a dell, I have an HP. I've already updated the motherboard, the BIOS, chipset, etc., etc.,
ZZ, I am using the newest drivers from Nvidia's website. What version are you using?
edited to add: I can tun the monitor off but when I turn it back on, it remains "asleep" (I guess) because it remains black until I restart the whole damned computer
witch:
At least pop into your bios then and make it so the machine turns off when you push the power button. It might save crashing out of Windows or turning off the power if your screen goes on the blink again. New motherboards / video cards / hard drives etc are not always fault proof. Doesn't sound like a sims problem to me, sounds like some kind of hardware.
