Monitor doesn't resume from standby

An added thought for Patty's suggestion. A BIOS update should only be done
if the PC is operating off of an uninterrupted power supply. Having a
"burp" in the electrical flow can ruin a BIOS.

Thanks to all.
BIOS was (successfully) flashed with the latest available update with no
change to monitor behavior.

Is there another monitor in the house or one that you can use to test with
to see if this is a problem with the monitor or with the computer?

Also, make sure that you don't have power management enabled both in the
BIOS and in Windows.

Thanks PattyL,
I think you hit the nail!
I have power management enabled both in the bios and in windows. I will try
disabling in the BIOS when I get back to it.

Try restarting your computer.
While it is restarting keep pushing the F8 key.
It will give you several options to pick from.
Try going to "Last known good configuration"
Enter and see if that works.
