PC restarts when not being used

[Wyndmere]

Hello guys, i recently bought a new monitor, the XL2411 by BenQ and since then after the monitor display goes off because of being idle for too much time, the PC restarts itself. It has never restarted itself prior to getting this monitor and does not restart while i am doing stuff on the PC. Any ideas what might cause this? Thanks in advance!

Your solution here is to keep using it. :3

I would go to advanced power settings.

 

Change Advanced Power Settings of a Power Plan in Power Options

1. Do step 2 (Power icon), step 3 (Control Panel), step 4 (Win+X), or step 5 (Settings) below for how you would like to open Power Options. 

2. Right click or press and hold on the Power icon in the notification area, click/tap on Power options, and go to step 6 below. (see screenshot below)

3. Open the Control Panel (icons view), click/tap on the Power Options icon, and go to step 6 below.

4. Open the Win+X Power User Tasks menu, click/tap on the Power Options icon, and go to step 5A below. (see screenshot below)

5. Open Settings, and click/tap the System icon. (see screenshot below)

A) Click/tap on Power & Sleep on the left side, click/tap on the Additional power settings link under Related settings on the right side, and go to step 6 below.

6. Click/tap on the Change plan settings link to the right of the power plan that you want to change the settings of. (see screenshot below)

NOTE: Normally you would want to change the settings of the power plan that you have selected (dotted) as your default power plan.

7. Click/tap on the Change advanced power settings link. (see screenshots below)

8. You can now make changes to the power plan settings below to suite your needs. When finished, click/tap on OK. (see screenshots below)

 If you have a computer has a battery (ex: laptop or tablet), or connected to a UPS, then you will be able to change these settings for when your computer is on battery and plugged in.

I have already tried changing all these settings, it does not help.
