1 check your power settings on your computer - your computer may go to standby after so many min of inactiveness. 2. check you monitor hardware setting (refer to your monitor manual) it might have built in energy save mode.

Dell monitors automatically go into power-save mode after a preset amount of time when the computer is inactive. The Dell monitor will go completely black, instead of showing a screensaver. This doesn't mean that your Dell computer has shut down. Instead, this allows your monitor to essentially turn off until it's needed again. You can change how long it is before the Dell monitor goes into power-save mode by changing your display settings.

1. Step 1 Press any key on your keyboard or move your mouse. Either will turn off power-save mode. Alternately, you can press the power button on your Dell computer tower or laptop.
   
2. Step 2 Press any key a second time if the monitor goes from power-save to stand-by mode. Stand-by mode allows the screensaver to appear.
   
3. Step 3 Enter your user name and password into the login prompt if your computer requires a login. Press "Enter" to begin using your Dell computer.
   
4. Step 4 Change the display settings on your Dell monitor to prevent your monitor from going into power-save mode prematurely. Right-click anywhere on your desktop and choose "Properties." Click the "Screensaver" tab and press "Power." Beside "Turn off Monitor," choose a time amount from the drop-down list and press "Apply."

Don't you just hate when your trusty laptop slips into a coma and won't resuscitate?

Jen, the good news is this will be easy to correct. First, I recommend you go into your operating systems control panel and configure your power save settings to avoid going into a stand-by state whether plugged in or running on battery unless as a last resort when reaching critical power depletion on battery mode. Shut your computer down when you are finished and leave it at that. If The you want to leave it running unattended, its okay to configure the monitor and hard disks to shut down after a period of inactivity, b4t on laptops, standby mode really doesn't seem to enjoy a reliable and consistent track record on numerous laptop models. Check your systems bios settings on start-up by pr goes into W5nd6ws by pressing the (delete key). Disable any power management settings in the bios then save and reboot.

If you must for some reason, feel compelled to keep using stand-by mode... when the black screen issue rears its ugly head, hold down the 'Fn' key and press 'F4' a couple of times... this worked for me until i got tired of doing it and disabled stabdby.

Go to the control panel, then Hardware and sound, then under Power Options you will see change power settings. Select that and choose what you require.

I can switch between shop mode & normal by holding down the menu key on the side of the screen, just press it till it changes.
