My sister was having this problem with her Dell PC...part of the problem is it is a Dell PC but I digress. I first tried resetting the BIOS to turn of powersave mode. That didn't work nor did the other fixes that are recommended for the problem. Finally I used my tried and true method (no, not a hammer and a new PC) and put in a video card so the computer had to use it instead of the onboard video. That solved the problem. I returned the computer to my sister a week ago and they had no problem, then she called five minutes ago to say it was doing the same as before. When I asked where the monitor was plugged in, she said when it had been set up again the kids plugged the monitor into the onboard video port instead of the card because that is the way it had been set up before. When I had her plug the monitor into the video card, everything worked fine again.
The problem seems to be a BIOS problem that I have only run into on Dell's (well once on an HP/Compaq but it had a lot of other issues)
I hope this helps. the only BIOS fix I can think of would be to flash the BIOS and make sure you have the most up-to-date drivers. If you aren't sure what you are doing re: flashing, don't try this at home. Take it to a tech and let him have the headache...the cost will be worth getting rid of the aggravation.
