how old is your monitor? can you try to conect another monitor your pc has integrated videocard? does it turn on and beeps?, you should check the back pannel of your pc and try to conect it to onboard video first (if it has), if you get signal get into the bios and change video output from onboard to a external card. if this thing dont work, then vga cord may be damaged or the card is not installed right or not working.
If there was something wrong with the monitor itself it wouldn't go to sleep it would just turn off. It sounds to be as if there is an issue with the signal going to the monitor itself, try restarting your PC and ensure that the connection on the back of the monitor and the connection on the back of your PC are secure.
Check all connections make sure everything is connected correctly .
The monitor should have two cords one for power and one VGA to the PC make sure both are connected correctly.
Step 2:
check the input on the Monitor make sure you are on the correct input for the type of Cord you are using.
Step 3:
If you are still not able to get a Picture try using the Monitor on a different PC it may be a bad Monitor, if you move the monitor to a different PC and it works then its the Graphics Card in that PC that is not working .
if you move the monitor to a different PC and it doesn't work then its the Monitor.
Try another cable, borrow one, then try monitor in another PC / laptop, if it works then either the software settings for the sleep mode are on or it may be a faulty video card.
Does the monitor go to sleep when you unplug the video cable? If so, then the computer is still sending a signal, if not, check the monitor menu settings for no signal settings.
Have you tried getting a second monitor ? then using it to get to the desktop and go to power options and set your monitor to never turn off? after that is done try your monitor again and see if that works.
