Monitor won't wake from standby after PC goes to sleep. PC itself wakes, but monitor does not.

My monitor does not wake after PC goes into sleep mode. I have an ATI Radeon HD 5700 card (drivers fully updated). Motherboard does not have it's own. I've only been able to solve the issue by unplugging the HDMI cable from the back of the PC and plugging it back in again. It is currently the only way to wake my monitor without having to fully restart my computer by using the power button or restart button. BIOS is set to enable mouse/keyboard wake from sleep, and windows settings are set to default 'power saver' option. What am I missing?

I already have. I switched from DVI to HDMI and I am still experiencing the same thing.

I should also note that this only happens if PC goes into sleep mode. If monitor itself goes into standby, but PC is still awake, simply moving the mouse will pop up the screen again.
