MONITOR GOES OFF AFTER WORKING FOR SOME TIME.

The monitor goes off after working for some time. Then even if we reboot it wont work for some time. After some time it works as normal.

More and more frequently, when I leave the monitor on and do not use the computer for 15 minutes or more the monitor does not come back on. Instead a floating memo box that states "Not optimum (screen size)..."

I have been disconnecting the monitor for 10 to 30 minutes, after which it usually comes on and operates OK. Sometimes I have to repeat this process.

Monitor goes off after 20mins or so of use and a floating box appears with the message "not in optimum mode" displayed. The only temporary cure is to turn off at power supply and re-boot after approx 30mins.

Sounds as if something within the monitor is overheating or a component (maybe a capacitor) is going bad. Either way, if it is under warranty, I believe Samsung has a 3yr warranty, it should be repaired by a professional.

Monitor went to sleep and won't wake up

It sounds like a driver issue, but more likely the monitor driver, not the video card, since the other monitor works properly.
If you go into the video properties, check the monitor settings. You should be able to switch it to a generic monitor. You also need to make sure that you have the correct monitor refresh frequency set. If you have a mis-match, the video card could send signals at a rate the monitor can;t handle, which is why it won't "wake" even after a reboot and might need to be unplugeed to get it to come back on.

Monitor or pcu problem

It appears that your graphics card is defective. If the monitor works on your laptop and reinserting the graphics card did not help, I would suspect the card itself.

Acer AL1711 17" LCD Monitor goes blank without warning

The need to reboot your computer to get your monitor working places the blame totally in the computer. You have a virus, or the computer is overheating and shutting down for thermal reasons.
