I suggest your computer isn't stuck on Power Saver Mode
Your monitor went to Power Saver Mode
Power Saver Mode, Sleep Mode, NO SIGNAL = Same/same,
in this instance.
Why?
Because your computer isn't working.
The two leading causes of desktop computer failure is it is dirty inside, and/or a bad Power Supply.
There are issues with bad capacitors on the motherboard, too.
1) State the computer manufacturer, and model number.
I don't like giving generic one-size-fits-all information.
2) Do you have a multimeter, or access to one?
An economical model can be purchased for as little, as $5 to $12.
Available in a multitude of stores. An auto parts store is but one example.
I have seen them on checkout aisle racks, in major discount stores.
3) Is the computer dirty inside?
4) Is there a working computer that has a Compatible power supply, that you can borrow for a temporary test unit?
Won't hurt the Power Supply, if something is wrong with the computer.
(Unless of course you open it up, and everything is melted together inside the computer! lol!) {DOUBT IT}
Anti-Static Precautions:
Your body carries Static electricity. Static WILL fry out (Short Circuit), the delicate hardware components inside a computer.
Relieve your body of Static BEFORE reaching inside your computer.
Computer ON a table, computer unplugged from power, computer case open;
TOUCH an unpainted area, on the metal frame of the open computer case.
This action will relieve your body of Static.
IF you leave your computer in the middle of working on it, be SURE to Touch the metal frame again, upon your return.
