no input signal after long idle

[kajar9]

I don't know whether it's because of the new videocard or something I recently did.
But when I leave my computer on and allow the monitor to shut off, but if I leave the computer running, sometimes when I move the mouse to get the screen to turn on, it gives a little jolt of energy to make the screen LED to go green for a moment... 2-3 seconds, and then the monitor says no-input signal going to sleep. And can't get the monitor to wake.

 

I can hear windows sounds in the background and restart fixes it.

Ideas?

Maybe it's in sleep mode, click the keyboard or turn the monitor off and on again. Try to press the power button as well at your case.

As said, it seems to wake, but no video signal after a long screen off time

It sounds like your monitor is more the problem, I would check the settings on the monitor to see if it has any "sleep" settings or something close to that. If your old video card used to wake up the monitor the it still could be something with the video drivers so after checking the monitor you could try updating the video drivers to see if the drivers are not working properly after going into sleep mode. Finally I would try clearing the power on both the computer and the monitor then try again. You can clear the power by turning off the workstation and monitor unplug them then spam hit power a few times, plug them back in and turn them on. Clear the power on the monitor and the desktop at the same time.

If you want a quick fix, turn off sleep mode and when you leave your computer (if you don't want your monitor on the whole time) just turn it off.

Try this! Go to power option and set everything to "Never", just turn off the monitor when you're away (PC will still run though, not in Stand By mode).

I would say it's a driver problem.
Reinstall the GPU drivers with the most up-to date version.
Nearly all drivers can go to sleep, but some have problems waking up if they are late.
