Monitor Sleep mode Crash

Recently I installed a new power supply, video card (Galaxy Geforce 9500 GT 1GB), and harddrive in my desktop computer (HP m8210n).

The problem is, after about 20 minutes of being "on", my computer monitor goes into sleep mode, and will not come out. The computer "brain" continues to run without issues, but there is no display. I replaced my power supply because i thought it was an issue with my new graphics card requiring more voltage, but the problem persists. I've read about other people having similar issues, but i've never seen a clear answer given. Any thoughts?

the issue was resolved on my own. Turns out when the video card fan is defective and the card heats up to 105 degreed Celsius, it causes problems. Who woulda thought lol

yea i looked all over the forums, and some people said it was a power supply issue. IT WASNT!, if your power supply is powerful enough, dont go replace it like an idiot. Its also not a motherboard issue if u have a fairly new computer. Tech support is stupid, i had to figure this one out on my own.

That is how you learn by doing it yourself
