Try Control Panel / Power Management and set System Standby to NEVER, then Monitor and HDD to whatever you want.

WOW! I'm having the same problem, after changing monitor to 1702FP. happens 4-5 times a day, and it's VERY Frustrating!!  Judging by the number of power save issues on the forums, Dell doesn't seem to be too responsive to the problem. I have the power options set to never, have updated the intel graphics driver, updatyed Bios. When I tried to update the 170x driver, I received a message that the driver installed was a better match than the one I was trying to install, and it exited out. removing the driver did not have any effect at all.
 
the only way I'm abel to recover is to reboot my PC, which is NOT a very time-effective solution when you'e doing it 5 times a day!! I'm never recommending Dell to anyone after this fiasco. (this is happening to 2 different people in my office besides me, so it's not unique ot my PC - default OEM configuration, XP )

Possibly many issues in this thread, but if the problem is with power save in the monitor (not the system sleep), with DVI monitor connections and the NVIDIA 5200 AGP graphics card, the basic card on most Dell systems until they switched to PCI-Express, the fix is to download new firmware/drivers for the card (or replace the card with something better).
