Your moniter is shutting off because of your power settings. To change this right click anywhere on your desktop background and click properties. Go to the screensaver tab and there will be a button near the bottom that says Power. Click that button and another window will come up with your power settings. There will be an option that says "Turn off moniter" near the middle of that window and it will have a scroll down option next to it. Select the Never option and click apply. Than click ok, and ok again at the screensaver tab window. After you do that your moniter will not shut off on it's own like that again.

Next time it goes blank, try pressing the menu button, if the menu comes up, suspect the video card.  If the menu doesn't display, replace your monitor.  Of course, check the cable connections first.

The best fix for this problem is to never use sleep mode.  It has caused problems or become the problem with every computer I've had or used.  It's best to turn the computer off, but if you have to leave it on just let it go to screen saver.  Sleep mode will just put it to sleep... and I mean that in the way that DOGS are put to sleep.

The monitor is working... this is the standby state, sounds like your "gateway" is having video problems try downloading a new driver for your graphics/video http://support.gateway.com/support/drivers/dlcenter.asp

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.

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 turning on the monitor, see if it is plugged in right.  If none of that works don't hit it with a sludge hammer, bring it into a computer store.

It´s ´probably just going into "Stand By" or you need more time in your energy savings config. \n\nGo to Start> Control Panel> Display >Screen Saver> click on the energy saver button> there is a combo box that says turn off monitor change that to 10 minutes or 15 whatever you like.\n\nThis gives you more time to levae the computer an d the monitor won´t go off.\n\nhope it helps

sounds like either the monitor cable is unpugged to the back of the monitor or the CPU or the video card is dead.

Sounds like it could be a short in the wiring to the monitor. If it changes as you slowly open or close the monitor, then that is it. If it is visible before windows boots up, then that is it as well.

It is possible that it is set to use an external monitor, If you had it hooked to one hook it up again and go to display settings.

It sounds like your computer is not really running.    Try getting into the BIOS setting, then plug the monitor into both ports. \n\nIf this does not work, then use the CLEAR CMOS jumper on the Motherboard.  I did have issues with my ASUS motherboard, and this was THE CURE. \n\nGood Luck

Change your power management settings...\nRight click on Desktop, go to properties, Screensaver, hit the button at the bottom that says power and adjust the settings as necessary.

Right click on your desktop.  Go to Properties, Display, Screensaver, Power.  Do the drop down for 'standby' and have it say NEVER.

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