Hi Natalie, It sounds like the monitor has come to the end of its life cycle....You can verify that the monitor is bad by connecting it to another PC or Laptop using a VGA monitor cable, and seeing if it does the same thing.
If the tower power LED is a Steady Green and the Diagnostic LEDs on the Back are all Green then the monitor itself appears to be the failure point. See if issue occurs with a different monitor. If the tower LEDs are not all green, then reply with the indications
Hello,
If your monitor is going in Power save mode it can be cause by following reasons.
>Check the data cable going from monitor to your Dell Dimension 4600 Tower is connected properly.The connector will be blue or white in colour.
>If the Dell Dimension 4600 Tower is powering on.
If still in power save mode then try to shutdown Tower and monitor,disconnect power cable from tower and monitor.Hold the power button on tower for 15 seconds.Then again try to connect monitor and check,if still nogo,and if tower has no lights then issue with motherboard or video card or power supply.If possible try connect spare known good monitor.
Those lights can be used to learn why your computer isn't starting. This service manual page explains how to interpret them. If the lights aren't all green, this information may help you figure out what to do next. If you're not sure how to proceed, please post a follow-up with your light information and I'll try to help further.
With that happening it means that you are having problems with either on board vga or vga card you have. It would be advisible to replace the vga card.
