This is an ALL-IN-ONE PC. 5 years old, (can be)
not a desktop real (atx) not laptop or note book.

Most of these odd duck PC have special keys for Unsleep.?
but this fake desktop has no huge battery.
so you unplug the power pack from the wall
and hold the power button on for 30seconds and release it.
then try normal.
'
the manual on this PC cover sleep did you read it.
did you ever upgrade the OS? if yes, BINGO. a problem.
learn that sleep mode only works correctly if all drivers are correct for you unstated OS (matched perfectly from HP)
and worse in hibernate mode, more complex. that is.

using slate mode? or hdmi
read page 4 (and page 45 on 30min sleep rule new)

quote. how to unsleep or WAKE this PC is stated in the above manual. I pasted the words here.
Examples include the user pressing the power/sleep button, receiving an input signal from an input device, receiving an input
signal from a network connection with t
he Wake On LAN (WOL) feature enabled, etc.

typing wakes it, mouse wakes it.
if you have power setting set up wrong, the mouse and keyboards go dead and will not wake the PC from sleep.
so hold the power button on for longer, time.
the power button I think is the only button that never sleeps.
note how that button has very unique name, on this PC.

I would say it is in the Hibernation Mode To get it out of this mode you need to go to your Control Panel, open "POWER OPTION'S" and deselect the Hibernation mode then reboot.

Could be an issues with your adapter. What resolution are you trying to send to the projector? Try lowering your resolution.

Also, are the proper video drivers loaded on your machine?

You should be able to just press the main system unit power button to wake up your 'sleeping' computer which will then resume your Windows desktop and bring you back to the Login panel if you have a password set for your account.

Go into safe mode
Under settings, control panel, power options set "turn off monitor to never
reboot

I think this is not a sleep problem but the incorrect monitor settings were set. This will cause the screen to go black when the OS comes up. Boot in safe mode and change the display settings
to 640x480
OR
in safe mode, delete your monitor. When you reboot it will load a default monitor and you should be OK

dont know how old monitor is but it may be time for an upgrade OR the pc/laptop/desktop? may need some setting changes for your wake time, sleep time, intervals, etc.? Sometimes if laptop,, you have to tap the power button to wake up after extended sleep times.

dont use sleep mode.

This monitor refuses to wake up because it cannot find the signal from the computer.

When the light is amber, force the pc to shut down by holding the power button until all lights go off. Then, after about 10 seconds, power the pc back up again.

If this does not start your monitor, unplug all the monitors connections and plug them back in again. These things should reform the connection from the pc to the monitor.

good luck

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...

Have you tried getting a second monitor ? then using it to get to the desktop and go to power options and set your monitor to never turn off? after that is done try your monitor again and see if that works.
