| Hi everyone I reported in my last post that the monitor goes off after several hours of usage. So it was guessed that it could be a heating problem. Anyway, I got a new dell monitor. Now it goes to power saving mode saying: No signal coming from your computer. Move the mouse or press any key. so it seems that the problem is with the PC. I am thinking it could be a Hardware problem. I dont know if it could be due to virus. I nees your expert help in this regard. I appreciate your effort and assistance. Thanks and regards SSC-NY

Go to Control Panel/Power Options.
Under the 'Power Schemes' tab,in the 'Power Schemes' window,make sure thats set to 'Always On'.
In the 'Settings for Always On power scheme' window,make sure the following are set as below:
Turn off monitor: Never
Turn off hard disks: Never

Press Apply/OK.
Under the 'Advanced' tab,make sure the following are set as below:
When I press the power button on my computer: Shut down

First check in the BIOS under power options,or similar wording,see if there's anything set there that could be causing the issue.
If your display adapter is onboard,check for a chipset driver update on your motherboard manufacturers website.
If you have a dedicated third party display adapter/video card installed,check for a driver update on the manufacturers website.
If all else fails i suggest you get yourself a new dedicated display adapter/video card.
If you're not sure of any specific details regarding your motherboard/video card etc,you could download and run one of these utilities to help.
