i've had a similiar issue with a 3dfx "banshee" videocard and some
(beta)driver under win2k (or win98?). this card had 16MB video-ram and
as cards are coming with more and more ram, these things might occur
more often. the thing is: where does the video-card save this
"screenshot", when the computer is powered down? maybe this ATX ("soft
poweroff" or so?) is to blame. or even ACPI. yes, blame ACPI ;-)
