In Windows 7, there is a bug, if you put the PC in sleep mode when the system is running on batteries then it may still drain out the batteries and you cannot wake it up. In this case, you need to connect the AC power and reboot the PC. If you put the Pc to slepp when the AC power was connected. Then there are no issues and just by pressing the enter key it should come out of sleep mode. Sometimes - depending upon settings - you may need to press the Power button the PC to wake it up from sleep mode.
If you have already tried all this, then please go to the Power settings in Control panel and check all the setups that exist. You may need to change some of them.

Is there a reason why you cant turn off sleep mode and just let the screen saver kick in? You can do this by right clicking on your desktop and goto properties. Then ScreenSaver, then click on power.
Change these values to never and then go back and set your screen saver...
Hope this Helps...

Plug the monitor into another computer to determine if the monitor is damaged or working properly. You can also plug another monitor into your computer to determine the same thing.

You need to call the service centre. I've had this happen to my computer and this is not a DIY project that can do any good. If shutting off the power and then switching it on again after a while isn't working, then there's something seriously wrong inside.
