I've run into a problem with my monitor's sleep mode. It likes to got into sleep mode even while I'm working and I can't wake it up. The only way I could get out of it is if I shut down the computer. I'm using Win2K as an OS and my mother board is an ECS Elitegroup Mainboard K7S5A Bios version 1.1. I'm not sure if it's the OS or the mother board causing me this problem. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Rob

Look in the power management settings in both BIOS setup and Control panel.

Disable all sleep events.

If you still have problems, it is possible that there is an internal problem with the monitor.
The easiest way to test this, is to swap monitors.

I'll give your suggestion a try and see if it helps. I actualy did try swaping monitors and got the same results as the first. That's when I determined it was either a Bios or Win2K problem. Rob
