I use a DVI lead. When this has occured all USB ports are affected. As is the card reader and DVD player. I have had the computer about 18 months now with very little changes to it since new and nothing recently. And this issue only started just over a week ago. The only changes recently have been the offical windows updates.
I'm having the same issue. Any removable device, cd rom, usb, etc. Rebooting stops the issue for a while, but it's back again. The usb I put in last (new usb, I'm guessing it had to install the drivers, too) it took a good 2-3 minutes of wiggling the mouse, clicking the keyboard, as the screen when to sleep and back 5-6 times.
I am having a similar problem. The monitor goes into power save mode at strange times. Opening some programs (like Dell Support Center), putting a disk in the DVD drive, connecting to USBs. I have an XPS 8300 running Windows 7, ST2320 monitor.
Power save mode is not the problem, just a symptom that your monitor has stopped getting a signal from the computer. The question becomes why. Is this a recent problem?
This has been happening since we bought the computer new from Dell. Why would opening a program or connecting something cause the computer to stop sending a signal to the.monitor?

Hi Bill,
How is the monitor connected? Does this happen with all USB ports and devices?

Hi Sunderlandaz,
Is this happening with all removable storage devices? What model and OS, please?

Hi Otterpapa,
I can't say without some diagnosis why this would occur. Is your 8300 still under warranty?
