Every time I leave my monitor on during the night it cuts offs as it is supposed to however, when I try to start the monitor up again all I get is a dark grey screen that doesn't go away until I restart the computer. I have had my monitor for 2 months and have never had any problems until recently.
What could be causing this?

OS: Windows 8.1
GPU:Gigabyte R9 280X Rev.2
CPU: i5 4670K

How are you starting the monitor up again?
Are you leaving the pc on and letting it go to sleep or hybernate when this happens?

To try and start the monitor up again I have moved the mouse, pushed keys on the keyboard, and pushed the power button on/off. When I do any of that the monitor seems to come on, shows no dvi input over a dark grey screen and then nothing is shown but the dark grey screen. The only thing that makes the monitor show anything useful again is rebooting my system via the reboot switch. I am leaving the pc on over night and it is set to just turn off the display after 20 minutes, it is never supposed to sleep according to my power settings. Is this bad?

How is the pc connected to the monitor?
The pc is on and appears to be running before you try to wake the monitor? or has it turned off or hibernated?

The pc is connected to the monitor through a dvi cable and my pc should not sleep or hibernate according to my set power option settings, only the monitor is set to turn off after 20 minutes of no use.
