Hello everyone!
So as of 9/12/2013, I just recently built my new gaming PC. But, I am having issues with my monitor waking up after being off. What happen is when I lock my account (not logging off) I turn off my monitor, and go about my day. When I return back to my computer, and switch back on my monitor, and enter in my password to log back into windows, the screen remains black. Now my monitor does find a signal. (connected via DVI) I try pressing my keyboard keys to wake it up or mouse movements/clicks. Nothing will happen. Then I try to turn off and on my monitor, and the same thing remains. When I press hotkeys (WINKEY+L) The screen reappears back to the lockscreen. Funny right? Ok so I will reattempted to enter in my password, and again the screen remains blacked out even though my monitor has found a signal. (connected via DVI) Ok, so now I press hotkeys (WINKEY+L) the screen reappears back to the lockscreen again, and this time I clicked on "switch users" to officially log me off my account. Then I reattempted to enter in my password. and logged back into windows. Now this time the screen remains black but, the monitor doesn't find a signal at all. I then had turned the monitor off and on at least 3 times for the monitor to actually display everything normal again. The computer runs fine afterwards until I turn off my monitor again then I would have to repeat everything all over again. My power setting is on "High performance" I have power setting "Never turn off monitor" or "never sleep mode". I've completely removed all display drivers and AMD catalyst application, and had reinstalled them again, but the issue remains. I want to believe my ASUS HD7950 card is defective, and should perhaps RMA it for a replacement. But one key note to add is, when installed the AMD catalyst application I received an error message stating "installation application install failed" (or something like that) but, that being said, the AMD catalyst application works fine. Not sure if that contributes the monitor wake up issue.
My Rig Spec:
CPU: AMD FX 8350
Mobo: ASUS SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0
VCARD: ASUS RADEON HD 7950 *Standard* (Not OC'ed)
MEM: G.SKILL 2X8GB - 16GB DDR3 1866Mhz 14900
DRIVE: SEAGATE SSHD 2TB+8GB NAND Drive
PSU: CORSAIR 850W RAIL70A 80+
OS: WINDOWS 7 PRO x64
Note: I am using AMD's lastest driver version 13.4.
Thank you for your time and help! I would greatly appreciate it!

PS. It can't be my monitor, I have no problem with my monitor when using GTX 560 Ti.
