Do you have the power set to "power off" the monitor at whatever time frame is set? Most, including Dell, suggest you only "power off" the monitor and the hard drive rather than use the problematic standby, which was originally designed for laptops to conserve battery power.
It it's not the system "power off" issue, do you have another monitor you can hook up to the PC, to see if it's the monitor or the PC? If it's the PC, it's most likely the video card.
Hi....might that be a blank (black) screen saver poping in and out? What brings your monitor around once the screen goes black- is it mouse movement perhaps? Does the screen go out dark after a certain amount of inactivity? If so, is it always after the same amount of time lapses?
krisdownx, right click in desktop click properties click screensaver tab and set to none. This will stop this from happening.Or you could set it to a longer interval of time your choice.
I have fixed this problem. What I did was set the screensaver to the sam resolution as my desktop. This was making the monitor go black, as it was setting the screen automaticly.
