Go to Control panel then Display when the box opens go to Screen Saver and at the bottom where it says Monitor power click power and on the drop down bar make sure it says Power Scheme Always on. If it does not say that then drop down the bar click on Always on then click Apply then Ok. That means when you shut down you will have to manually shut the monitor off.

Well years ago when monitors were as big as houses and as heavy as one (remember those?) I had one that did this. The power button went bad.\nKept using it for a couple more years with a wood screw in there keeping it on lol! It was one of the first 17" or something, that was pretty cool back then lol!\nSaw your question and this came to mind :0)\n\nThe link below is for the drivers that might help you, sounds like a hardware problem though......

Try the power settings on your computer. \n--or--\nif you have another pc, try connecting the monitor to that\n--or--\nupgrade your OS. ME is the worst OS by MS.

check your monitor power options makes sure that hibernation is disabled and also check the power schemes settings and adjust accordingly.

it shouldn't do that, try to unplug the monitor from the pc and then plug it back

Try going into the Control Panel, and selecting Power Management.  There might be an option in there to change what the computer does when the "lid" is closed.

download the current driver for your video card. if that doesn't work your monitor or video card might need replacement. Also try to degause your monitor if its not a plasma screen.

Your monitor probably has buttons on the front of it for controling the brightness and contrast, and it sounds like those buttons are starting to wear out and "push" themselves. You could take it to a computer shop and get it fixed (they can replace the buttons), but if it's an old monitor, you're probably better off getting a new one.

Same thing happened to me. If you see the screen in the beginning and then it turns off, it's because you changed the settings. The only thing I could do was reboot the hard drive with a fresh copy of XP and adjust the settings differently.

Check that the monitor cable is correctly connected.\nIf it is, then get a new monitor from some place with a good returns policy - just in case the problem is with your graphics card!!

Ok.. if it is a work computer, then you really need not worry. Contact your IT department and tell them your monitor is giving you trouble. They'll fix it for you.\n\nIt could also be that there is no problem with the monitor. \nProbably some magnetic disturbances around the monitor led it to be distorted.\n\nWhat you can do is, leave the monitor off. unplug it. for about 15 - 20 minutes. until cools down completely. \nThen turn it on. \nThen "Degauss" it\n\nIf you dont know how to degauss, then read further. \nGo through the "Menu settings" of the monitor. \n\neach monitor has different way to access the menu settings, so i dont know how to do it on yours because you did not mention any specs of your monitor.\n\nbrowse through the settings to find for something called "Degauss" and select it.\n\nThe monitor may flickr for a second and come back on .. .. \nIf that does not help.. then your monitor is DEAD. \n\nhope that helps.

Goto your CONTROL PANEL and select POWER OPTIONS.  Make sure it is set at a level you want, I assume it says to turn off hard disk after 20 mins...Just change that to NEVER.

Is the monitor plugged in all the way, it may be loose.\nYour video card may have went out.\nYour monitor could have went out.

Go to "Control Panel"/"Screen"/"Screensaver" tab/"Energy" button/\nand from the "Turn off monitor" list, choose "never".\nThat would just prevent the monitor from turning it off, I know it's not a "complete solution" but it's a start.\nI also, profusely suggest that you look for the computer's manual and check on this issue, it might be a known bug.
