Monitor sleep mode issues

ConnieMac · Dec 22, 2008

i am having issues with my system/monitor when it goes into a sleep mode or is left on over night. When i try and wake it up in the morning 80% of the time it will wake up but will only display brown/white/black vertical lines.

I am running vista home premium and am using a refurbished dell ultra sharp monitor.

Any help is appreciated.

Hello ConnieMac, and welcome to Vista Forums.

It may be time to exchange it for another one.

Double check to make sure that all of the monitor cable connections are not loose, graphics card is inserted completely and properly into the slot, and have the latest graphics and monitor drivers installed.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Well its a brand new computer and i went on and called dell about it and they suggested reinstalling my OS. But since its only a week old i will have to call them again and request a new monitor. But i have checked the wires to be sure they were plugged in and tried both VGA and DVI cables both to no success.

Hopefully a new replacement monitor will work for you. If not, then just post back. We will see what we can do to help.
