Windows 10: PC and monitor is in some sort of power saving mode

So I have an ASUS PC connected to a Samsung monitor. I recently unplugged and moved my PC from one room to another. So now I plugged everything back together turned it on and my keyboard and mouse both light up while my monitor light keeps flashing. I tried with a different brand monitor and it did the same thing. How do I get my PC out of power-saving mode?

Monitors go into auto power save mode and wont wake up

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestions. I have no idea why the computer monitors go into power saving mode. The computer doesn't. I can be browsing the internet (or even playing CandyCrush haha) more or less right after booting up and the monitors go to sleep. I
can not wake them up. I have to turn the PC off and back on again. Not so good if I am doing some work.

Making any changes as you suggest above don't seem to do anything, there is only the mouse, keyboard and "NVIDIA nForce networking controller" listed.

 

power saving mode after a few minutes on gaming

My friend had a similar problem on his older desktop. if its similar it is a problem with your graphics card overheating or dying. two steps to take would be to open the computer and clean the graphics card cooler thoroughly. And second of all get a friends graphics card and try his in your computer. this will rule out completely any problems with your graphics card. Which i think it is.

Btw. its not your pc outputting "power saving mode". but instead its the monitor saying power saving mode since your graphics card is crashing and the screen is not recieving a signal and going to standby.

 

Why does my monitor keep erroneously exiting power save mode?

The internet is absolutely rife with people complaining that their monitors keep erroneously entering power save mode or that their monitors are stuck in power save mode, but if Google is any indication, I'm the first person on Earth to run into a monitor erroneously exiting power save mode.

Whenever my monitor goes into power save mode, for some reason, after a short, unpredictable period of time -- sometimes it's a few seconds, sometimes it's 20 minutes -- it just turns back on for no reason. It's not because I touched my keyboard, it's not because I touched my mouse, it's not because I'm really, really fat and just happened to make my desk shake enough to move the mouse while walking by like the T-Rex in Jurassic Park... it just does it on its own, and it doesn't make a lick of sense.

• I've tried another monitor and it did the same thing, so it's not the monitor
  
• I've tried connecting the monitor via HDMI instead of DVI and it did the same thing, so it's not the connection
  
• I've tried terminating all processes in Task Manager except those under the "Windows processes" header and it did the same thing, so it's not a misbehaving program
  
• I've tried disabling "Allow this device to wake the computer" for all devices in Device Manager and it did the same thing, but I believe this setting only affects sleep mode
  
• I've tried powercfg -waketimers, but there aren't any wake timers on this PC, and again, I believe that's only relevant to sleep mode
  

This is a problem I've had for as long as I can remember, but have never been able to solve. The obvious workaround, of course, is to just turn the monitor off by hand, but I've been getting into home automation recently and now need to find a proper solution. Any suggestions?
