Cool, you may have helped with my DVI problem, I know this is of little help to you, sorry

If you are running an Nvidia grapics card there are known issues with DVI. I can run fine with an analog connection but whenever I switch to max resoution in DVI the screen goes black. Never thought of switching it on and off.

will check it when I get home and report back. at the very least perhaps this could document a repeatable problem
