2 monitors not on displaylink connection keep crashing.

I notice sometimes, seems especially when I leave the computer idle for a long time, I come back and start using it and everything seems fine. Then about 30 seconds into use, my two monitors hooked to my nVidia card just turn off and go into sleep. Windows is unresponsive when this happens and the only fix is a restart. The other monitor, the one attached to the Displaylink device, remains on, but again the mouse cursor wont even move to it and windows doesn't respond. This is getting very annoying, especially combined with the lack of a properly working nVidia control panel with the Display link drivers installed. Oh and the monitors aren't crashing from any application, I can be just in windows explorer looking @ files and suddenly they go black and lose signal. Video card is a nVidia GTS 450.
