Monitor shuts down
After 30 minutes or so, my monitor goes black, like into shut down mode, but then I can't get it to "come back". It needs to be completely re-booted. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Any noises from the monitor? Very high pitched?
How old is the monitor? Computer? Video card?

We do not post answers unless we are sure that the problem will be solved based on our comments alone and wont require further information. Your "answer" is nothing more than a guess and more than likely not the solution to the problem. Typically, these problems are caused by a conflict between CMOS and Windows APM and can be solved in the method given above. In the future, could you please try to post your advice as a comment. This allows the question to remain unlocked and allows the questioner to research other possible solutions. PLease try to adhere to this protocol and again, welcome!
1cell, Sorry about the proposed answer, I'll keep it in the comments field from now on. I have found the same problem, as I stated with 4 AST computers (New), without reconfiguring the CMOS and changing the APM in windows, solved the problem. Thanks for the advice and the welcome.
its your video card, its not awaking the monitor from suspend .
in screen saver settings there is a "Settings" button in power managment
at the bottom
turn the "suspend monitor after X minutes", to "Never"
it wont turn off by itself now

I think the issue is not whether to use a function of windows or not. It seems that the issue is how to use it functionally. Again, this is a conflict between hardware APM and Windows APM.

I need to offer the credit to ViRoy, because this was the one that ultimately solved the issue at hand. How do I do this and THANKS ViRoy!
you do realize that this will eliminate the automatic sleep function of the monitor right?
If that's what you wanted, I misunderstood. Sorry.

Go into CMOS setup ( press F2 or del during boot )
Find Power Management Configuration or the like
Enable APM but disable all subcomponents.
Save changes and exit.
That should take care of it.
