Re: My monitor shuts down after one second.
Dell monitors automatically go into power-save mode after a preset
amount of time when the computer is inactive. The Dell monitor will go
completely black, instead of showing a screensaver. This doesn't mean
that your Dell computer
has shut down. Instead, this allows your monitor to essentially turn
off until it's needed again. You can change how long it is before the
Dell monitor goes into power-save mode by changing your display
settings.
Step 1
Press
any key on your keyboard or move your mouse. Either will turn off
power-save mode. Alternately, you can press the power button on your
Dell computer tower or laptop.
Step 2
Press
any key a second time if the monitor goes from power-save to stand-by
mode. Stand-by mode allows the screensaver to appear.
Step 3
Enter
your user name and password into the login prompt if your computer
requires a login. Press "Enter" to begin using your Dell computer.
Step 4
Change
the display settings on your Dell monitor to prevent your monitor from
going into power-save mode prematurely. Right-click anywhere on your
desktop and choose "Properties." Click the "Screensaver" tab and press
"Power." Beside "Turn off Monitor," choose a time amount from the
drop-down list and press "Apply."

Check cable. It's not communicating with PC video card. It should pick up the input port, but make sure on monitor. You can try re-seating video card. Also test with VGA if you are using HD like HDMI.
Disconnect the monitor cable from the computer and power on the monitor. It has a built-in diagnostic program. If you see color bars floating around the screen then you monitor is O.K.
mcdevito75 here, Try to simply shut the monitor off at the monitor itself, Or with your computer shut down, disconnect and reconnect the monitor to the computer.
Try to determine first whether its a no video problem from the computer or the monitor. Try a known good working monitor and see if the monitor still shuts off, if it does then you know the problem lies within the computer. If it doesn't shut off then you know your original monitor is bad.
elainenemeth, Hi, Tell me more! How old is this LCD monitor? Is it out of warranty? Did the "SHUT-DOWN-IMMEDIATE" problem occur without warning? Did the BenQ display a "perfect" image the day before? Did you actually count----1001, 1002----1010 and then it shut down, after pushing the monitor on button. Did you do the "flashlight" test? With monitor connected to a "known-good", fully booted pc with Win Desktop displayed, TURN ON the monitor! Did it display the desktop for 1-2-10 seconds ? What did you see or not see when you pointed the flashlight at different angles about 1-2" inches from the now dark (black) screen? Get back to me with your results. I will offer the best advice possible to you as a consumer/user of LCD/FPD monitor. I'm louie12fix on fixya or lmistyrel @ aol.com Bye for now.

your pc may be set to a resolution that is out of range for the monitor.
Boot into "Safe mode" reset the Display settings to 640 x 480.
reboot into normal mode then change the screen settings to your desired resolution.
