No firm ideas but a few suggestions... Is a screen software lock possibly in play, with a "blank" screensaver? You could try typing your password to see if it wakes up. I mention that because it wasn't entirely clear from your description if the monitor is truly hiberating. Some screen locks default to a totally blank screen. Also have you tried unplugging/replugging the video cable from the computer when this happens? Last thought, maybe there's a relevant BIOS setting? Mitch K.
