Hello ergic,
the "Monitor" as well the Computer have "Power Saving Modes."

• Sleep /Awake
• ScreenSavers
• Hibernation...

"You want to do the following!"

"Change the way the Computer / Monitor Sleeps!"

• From the Desktop Screen.
• Click on the "Start Button."
• Just [below], "All Programs" you'll see:
• The [Start Search] window; type: power.
• "In the next [window] that opens!"
• Scroll to find the {Power Options} icon!
• Click on the "Power Option" shortcut
• "You should see: from your point of view; a "list" in the (left column) .
• "Change when the computer shi can someone help cause - paul7of9_131.jpg"/uploads/images/paul7of9_131.jpg" alt="paul7of9_131.jpg" class="h_mi" />
• "The wording may be different, but it will be clear enough."
• Now all you have to do is change the way the Computerhi can someone help cause - paul7of9_128.jpgeep, or Turn-off."
• If the Monitor have its own "settings;" just find them by the [button on the monitor], and do the 'same thing as above'; but I'm sure the computer will take care of both.

If it happens only when your playing games then your video card crashed.
If it just happens randomly (game or no game) it could either be a monitor problem or a video card problem.

Here is a video card stability test:

It sounds like it could be a loose or bad video cable. This solution would only apply if you are not using HDMI to carry the video signal as HDMI also carries the audio. I would first check to make sure the cable is firmly secure in both the computer and the monitor, and if necessary, use the screws on either side of the connect to attach it. If the problem still persists, and you have another video cable you can try, I would swap the cables and see if that fixes the problem. If it does, then the other video cable is bad.
