Monitor stuck in "Power Save Mode"

Whenever I boot up my computer, my Dell S2209W LCD monitor instantly says "Entering Power Save Mode" and goes completely black, and stays that way. The LED power light is amber/yellow instead of white.
I started troubleshooting. I checked all the connections/cables, unplugged all media, switched up the internal harddrives (I thought it might have been the new graphic drivers that i installed recently)
I also thought I might have had a bad monitor cable, so I even went out and bought a brand new SVGA cable.

This monitor is fairly new (a few months!) and I'm wondering what the hell is wrong with it.
When I press the monitor's menu button, it says "There is no signal coming from your computer. Press any key on the keyboard or mouse to wake it up." (ofcourse this does nothing)
I pressed the input button on the monitor and put it on Autodetect, and it says it is detecting "Analog" instead of DVI/Digital. So that must mean it is "seeing" the cable.

This problem started happening slowly over the course of a day. Now it is permanent and won't work at all.

I haven't tried the monitor on a different PC yet, I will be able to tommorow. But for some reason, I really doubt it will work.

Has anyone experienced this problem with a Dell LCD flatscreen?
I honestly don't know what to think. It just seems like it randomly died.

Any suggestions/comments are appreciated
