• Dell Monitor Keeps Going To Sleep

Greetings, and thank you for reading this thread.As the title states, my computer will turn off the display or go to sleep (not sure of correct terminology) when I go idle for a short period of time. For instance, I get up to get a glass of water and when I come back, the screensaver is up and I need to re-enter my password. This problem arose immediately after the installing of windows 10 on my PC (upgraded from Windows 8.1 if that helps).I have already gone to control panel power options but the thing is, even though I've already done that and set the options to 'Never turn off display', 'Never go to sleep' as shown in the screenshot, my PC still turns off display/sleeps after a short amount of time. Lastly, I hope I posted this in the right section and hope that someone can solve my problem.

Things to try/check: - reseat the video cable connectors at the monitor and computer a few times to clean off any contact oxidation/contamination. The default energy settings on your iPad will lock the screen after it's idle for a little while. To keep your iPad from going to sleep, update the Auto-lock setting. To do this, go to your iPad Settings Display & Brightness Auto-Lock. Set Auto-Lock to 'Never'. This will keep your screen awake, but still respect your screen dimming settings.

Basically i came home and plug my monitor to my Acer notebook and started a Wow. My monitor was working fine when playing about 5 minutes.

Then it turned black and showed me text: Monitor is going to sleep. But monitor is detected. I can change resolution. I even see it on device manager like separate device. It´s not cable problem and monitor works fine.

I reinstalled a Windows but no difference. I also reinstalled a GPU drivers.Specs: Intel Core I5 5200U, nVidia 940m 2gb, 4gb ram, 1tb hard disc. Does the attached display not work?Also have you tried the external monitor hooked up to another computer?For 'Sleep Mode' issues, see if this helps.1. Go into 'Control Panel' and click the 'Power Options'.2. Next to the plan that is currently selected click 'Change Plan Settings'.3. Now click 'Change Advanced Power Settings'.4.

Now you want to look at the settings in there and check for things turning off the monitor, or the video card. It can be them directly, or it can be something that is set to turn either off if there is say overheating.
