Did you happen to upgrade your NVIDIA drivers?  Are you running DVI to 
HDMI?  I am and I experience the same thing after power cycling my TV 
(screensaver disabled).  I had to add an HDMI switch with my blu-ray 
player I have to switch back and forth and then video returns.  Its got 
something to do with the video card pair to the TV because I certainly 
don't have this issue with the blu-ray player.  I was thinking of trying 
a video card with real HDMI outputs on it to see if that makes a difference.
