PC trouble

     Hey everyone, I've been having troubles for maybe a month or so with my screen going black. I have to push the power button on the monitor and it will come back and has the msg. Auto Detect Analog Input   This starts after my computer has been on for an hour or so and it occurs while I'm working, not sitting idle.    Once it starts it keeps doing this until I shut down , because it's so frustrating.    I've talked to a Dell tech twice and that didn't help. I was told to unplug the cable from the monitor and modem and plug back in switching the ends that was in the one into the other and vise versa ???. I guess the monitor is working correctly because we did the test and they said it was OK.
     Any ideas what I need to do to fix this?            I'm not very bright and it's a wonder I can work a computer at all, so no computer language please, speak English, if you have an answer, please.
      I've done all kinds of searches on Dell Inspiron 530/531 , and tried many things and nothing is working. :(
       Just thought it wouldn't hurt to ask and thanks very much for any help you might have.
                  hugs,meee

This is related to your power settings...here's what you can do:

1. Press the 'Start' button at the bottom left of your screen (has a Microsoft Windows icon)

2. Choose 'Control Panel' from the menu

3. Choose either the 'Performance and Maintenance' option which then gives you the option to choose 'Power Options' or if the option of 'Power Options' is listed right after choosing 'Control Panel', simply choose it then.

4. Under the 'Power Schemes' tab, make sure 'System Standby' is listed as 'Never. Also, you can choose the 'never' option or a long period of time for the 'Monitor' option as well.

5. Choose the 'Hibernate' tab, then uncheck 'Enable Hibernation'.

Let me know if you need further assistance in navigating through the different menu options.


Hope this helps,

Marques
