Monitor randomly going into standby

[Guest]

I'm using Windows XP. Recently my monitor has started to
go into standby at random intervals and won't come back
on when I move the mouse. I have to turn the monitor off
at the power switch and wait a minute or so to get it
back. I've tried changing the Power settings, but it
hasn't helped. I'm assuming it's a settings problem
rather than the monitor itself. Any ideas?

That sounds more like a monitor problem than anything. I would suggest
trying a different monitor or the same monitor on a different computer
and see if it still has problems. That will help you determine if it is
the monitor or your computer

Could it be the graphics card or chip?
More details about the system would be a great help.
