When I don't use my PC for a time, maybe 5 or 10 minutes,
it goes to sleep as I have set it to do.
If I go back after a few minutes it is fine and starts as it
should, but if I leave it for a longer period, say an hour it
stays black for a long time after I touch a key or the mouse,
then it comes on for a fraction of a second and goes black
again for a few seconds, this happens about three or four
times before it stays on.
I wonder if it is the monitor which is old, it is a 22" flat screen,
or if it is the signal from the PC which I never turn off as it
uses very little electricity.
Has anybody here had this kind of problem and if so should
I go and buy a new monitor?
