All it does is have the no signal message. However, it doesn't say go to sleep like the HP one. Im currently using another monitor and i had this issue yet again. The thing is you never know when its coming, it might happen once a day, twice a day, or 3 times, sometimes none. It would go to sleep just like the HP one which when i bought it was brand new. Note this monitor is very old, like 8 years at least. I then later on tried my laptop on another monitor a dell one. This is very annoying when playing on pokerstars due to you going to miss out few minutes if you close the computer while playing because you going to be sitting out etc.

I then wondered if this was my monitor or it could be my laptop as i read it has something to do with video card? Well what happened was later on, i didn't seem to have this issue anymore then after a while it came back again. However if i dont wait 1 minute or so and then i just press/hold the power button immediately, then i would shut down my laptop which is horrible because if im playing tables, then i have to wait a few minutes due to having to power up the laptop again. This was the fastest way for me to get back on the tables when not sitting out longer. The i press it immediately and then it would show resuming windows. Then my HP monitor screen gets the no signal and then go to sleep and when im playing, i have to wait like 1 minute or so, then hold the power button on my laptop for a few seconds then it turns off.

Example i would be on the computer for few hours or play poker for few hours, then this message would show up. I noticed that the monitor would keep on going to sleep. I would connect my laptop to the monitor by vga cable. Last year i bought a monitor that is hp la2405x because it has 1920x1200 resolution which i need because i need it to play online poker. 4gb ram but i recently upgraded it to 8gb ram

Laptop goes to sleep
