If you have VESA's DPM compliance display card or software installed in your PC, the monitor automatically reduces its power consumption when not in use. This is referred to as Power Save Mode.

If VGA or HDMI cable is not connected, a floating dialog box as shown below appears. The monitor will enter Power Save Mode after 5 minutes if left at this state.

This box also appears during normal system operation, if the video cable becomes disconnected or damaged. The monitor will enter Power Save Mode after 5 minutes if left at this state.

Check the signal source. Ensure the computer is not in the power saving mode by moving the mouse or pressing any key on the keyboard.

this mostly occurs due to loose connections from graphics card to your display.reconnect the hdmi/vga/dvi cable to the gpu as well as the monitor.

this will fix the problem if not then check if the graphics card is working or not by connecting to a different monitor. or using a different display cable
