Re: my monitor keeps going into sleep mode
it won't even go to the desk top I've checked the settings and they're normal. It will go to the loading screen where it says Windows xp and then goes to sleep and turns right back on and the process repeats.

Re: my monitor keeps going into sleep mode
I'm seeing the same information repeatedly on this page, almost in the exact same format. What I'm not seeing, is what to do if your monitor will not turn on long enough for you to change any settings. Obviously plugging in a different monitor won't solve the problem. And changing settings and updating would help, if the monitor would stay on. MY PROBLEM, and a few others I have seen, is: I turn my computer on, my monitor says "No Input Signal" "Going To Sleep". Unplugging and reconnectiong things don't help. Turning my computer off and back on doesn't help. My computer is a desktop (compaq presario SR2011WM) Graphics powered by ATI, "Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005". This should be just fine, but it's not. So now that you know what kind of computer that I have, and where all the fancy buttons are,and it's written in plain english. DO YOU KNOW, how to fix it? If you do not, don't bull-pucky-rooney-toot-tooty me with a guessed answer. People that think they're smart and know enerything allways do that, please, be more and that. A little humility goes a long way, and SAVES A LOT OF TIME.

Re: my monitor keeps going into sleep mode
your sh-it is broken. Buy a new video card, a new monitor or a new computer.
I hope that saves you enough time.

Re: my monitor keeps going into sleep mode
Mine actually says Power Save. Obviously I need to change the settings on the monitor or the control panel and I can't seem to figure it out on my own.

macbook pro monitor randomly turning off
Hello, I have a 3 or 4 year old macbook pro laptop, and many times when I move the screen it will turn off (the screen) and I'll have to jiggle and play with the screen a bit to turn it back on. It looks like its going into sleep mode randomly. I'm wondering if the wires running from the computer to the screen are wearing or nearly broken inside. Does that sound like the problem? Can a computer repair center fix it easily?
Also, on a possibly related note, sometimes I'll have a green line running vertically from the top to bottom of the screen, and sometimes it goes away. Whats up with that?

Re: macbook pro monitor randomly turning off
Based on what you describe, it's likely that it is a loose or broken cable or connecter between the body and the screen. This could also be caused by the vertical green line.
And yes, it's fixable - although not necessarily easy (or cheap!). In many cases the cost of a new Macbook is only slightly less than a whole new one - sometimes the repair cost can be MORE than a new one! This is because they may need to replace the entire upper-screen assembly.
I would take it to a place that at least claims to know how to work on Macs - many (if not all) Mac replacement parts are only available to authorized Apple Repair Dealers, so you might want to call first and ask. A quick Google on "apple authorized service provider in my city" (but, put your actual city) should let you know where to start. Of course, the local Apple store would also be happy to help.

Re: my monitor keeps going into sleep mode
it's a power saving thing. if you're running windows, click on your Start menu, then Settings, then Control panel, then Power options. you can then set the timers, including "turn off monitor," for whatever you wish. if you're not on a windows PC then look for wherever your power settings are. you can also usually set this in the BIOS when you cold boot, but it's easier for most people to just do it in the operating system so don't worry about that unless you can't find any other way to do it.

Hi there people I cant find any other way to stop it from doing it while playing games like Battlefield 2, etc. I am running Windows XP Professional and despite trying :
1) Right click on mouse anywhere on main screen
2) Left click on "Properties"
3) Left click on "Screen Saver" tab
4) Left click on "Screen Saver" Scrool down menu and select NOne
5) Left click on "Apply" button
6) Left click on "Power" button in Power Option section
7) Left click on "Turn off Monitor" Scroll menu and set to "Never"
8 ) Left Click on "Apply" button
or doing this through My Computer: The Control Panel either.
Could it be an old graphics card maybe? All those games used to work sweet on the same one and my older card too.
Thanks for your continuing support 
PC problems are a NiGhTmArE!!! XD

Re: my monitor keeps going into sleep mode
There isn't any burning electronics smell,is there?
You are more likely to replace your computer 5 times before you ever need to change your monitor but they do eventually break down and a monitor that is short circuting might look like it is "going into sleep mode"
It's actually the CRT not getting enough power that makes the screen "pop off" and the CRT trying to draw the power that makes it "pop on" and if you are EM sensitive like me you can feel the the 50,000 volts flickering back and forth if it is doing that on a failing Monitor
A circut breaker in some models will prevent the Crt from keep from trying to draw it's 50,000 volts repedatively which leads to the burning electronics smell which then can lead to monitor explosion and/or fire by just turning the monitor into Sleep mode
If your monitor is turning of for no appartent reason,after checking the settings on the computer and on the monitor, it may not be good already

Re: my monitor keeps going into sleep mode
I'm having similar problems. Monitor goes to sleep randomly and only comes back on when I press the "Sleep" buttom on the keyboard. It's getting rediculous. I have set my Power Settings to NEVER in all cases and have turned off the screen saver but it doesn't seem to "fix" the problem. Downloaded and installed the current drivers for my video adapter and checked the cabel connections. Still "No Joy."
Any ideas?
AMD Athlon 64 X 2 processor
NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430
2 GB DDR 2 PC2-5300 Memory

Re: my monitor keeps going into sleep mode
Every 10 minutes?
YOu might want to check to see that your computer has the latest drivers for your monitor
Some monitors consider outdated drivers or no drivers as "no contact" with the computer and that can trigger their sleep or power off feature ("Smart monitors" are stupid that way)
