DPMS stands for Display Power Management System. It is used to shut off your monitor after a particular period of time to save power. Make sure your monitor is energy star compliant to allow this. Also check your power settings in control panel to make sure that you have this option enabled. You may also have to check in your device manager under system to make sure your ACPI power management drivers are installed.

You could go to the power settings in control panel and make sure that the settings for the monitor are set to never turn it off.
