monitor won't wake back up when it goes into sleep mode.

Hello. My monitor has it's own "sleep" feature to help save power, separate from that of my actual computer. The monitor can go into sleep mode while the computer stays running. I have my computer set to never sleep, but I have the monitor set to sleep after 15 minutes of non-use.

The problem is that once in a while when the monitor is asleep I cannot get it to wake back up without restarting the whole computer. I wiggle the mouse, hit keyboard keys (which usually wakes it right up), turn the monitor off then back on, but it will not wake back up until I restart the computer. Any Ideas what the reasoning is? do you think it is something wrong with the monitor itself or the computer?

I had the same problem for the last 3 days. When I hit the snooze button on my computer then try to wake it back up, the fans would start spinning but the monitor would not turn back on. I just did a system restore and that seems to have fixed it for me.

I have the same problem here. I don't it has to do with the hardware but the software. Go to your start menu, search power options, then click something like change power setting or display seetings, then click advance power option. Select sleep and then under hybrid power or something like that turn it off. I tried that and now I have to test it. Hopefully it works.
