Hiya,

So I have a BenQ XL2420Z and whenever I leave my computer for a while and it goes to sleep I can usually click a button/key and it'll resume from sleep - and it appears it's doing so, as the monitor comes to light however shows nothing but a light black screen.

It does this after every sleep which is very annoying, I have to restart my PC every time.

8 GB RIPJAWS X RAM
XFX Radeon R9 280x
i5 4690

Really annoying, because I have stuff usually going on when I leave my computer which needs to be running (at least til it sleeps) and I pretty much have to sacrifice everything to get back onto my computer.

Thanks in advance. (Yes, I've changed PC settings and disconnected cables, none are loose.

P.S not sure if this is the right section, MOD please move if not.

I saw a post some time ago with this problem. It turned out to be an incompatibility between BIOS and OS sleep. If you aren't up to date on your BIOS do an update. That may or may not fix it. The temporary fix in that other case was to disable the sleep function.
