When I'm not using the PC I normally leave it on and turn the monitor off. I've notice now on a regular basis that when I turn the monitor back on the screen has a frosted glass effect over it. It can only be removed if the PC is reset and there is normally no error notification. I think there was one once and it said the graphics driver wasn't responding.

Any fix for this? I have just re installed everything on this PC and I had this issue months ago. So re installing the OS or the graphics won't fix anything.

Monitor is 1920x1080 144 hertz.
