Hi all.
This problem has been vexing me for years, and if someone solves it the rep fairy will sprinkle you with his magic pixie dust.
Hibernation is off. Sleep mode is off - power scheme is "High Performance". Disk goes to sleep after 20 minutes, screen goes to sleep after 5.
Here's the problem - sometimes when I wake the screen, it's blank. Not powerless, it's got input, but the input is just a 1440x2560 mess of purest black. This happened with:
My old mobo/RAM
My new mobo/RAM
My 6950
My R9 280X
My R9 290
Windows 7, 8 and 8.1
I figure it's got to be an OS thing. So... any guesses? If I turn the monitor off/on it makes no difference, but if I unplug the DVI cable (used to use HDMI for my 1080p monitor) then plug it back in, everything's fine. The machine is responsive and the monitor does not complain about no signal.
