Dell Xps 410 Desktop
I changed my hard drive and my dell has worked for several weeks. However, now my monitor goes to sleep (Powersave) and won't wake up when I turn on my computer. I connected my monitor to my laptop, and it seems to work fine. However, it does not want to work with my desktop. Anybody know what is going on and how to fix?
