Monitor Not Switching on!!!

[flamezmack]

Well basically when i switch off my monitor for awhile
when my pc is still on,when i switch it back on theres
nothing on the display the blue power light just flashes
every few seconds..which then requires me to restart
to get a picture...i thought this was a windows 7 issue
since it only started happening after i installed the latest
7057 version..but i reverted back to vista x64 last night
and same thing..my monitor is a Samsung 226bw..
why is it doing it??..thanks

Have you checked the power options for your display? It will turn off after a set number of minutes, usually just move the mouse for it to come back on.
Could you try changing the settings so it doesn't switch off?
Could also be a driver issue.

power settings are set to turn off display never..the monitor doesn't actually switch itself off..its when im going bed and i switch it off when i wake up and try turn it out it doesn't work even though the pc is still running
