My system specs are as follows:

CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+
Mobo: ASUS M2N68-AM SE2
RAM: Crucial 4096MB PC5400 DDR2
VID: PNY GeForce 8600 GT OC 512MB
HDD1: WD Caviar 320GB SATA-3G
HDD2: Seagate 500GB SATA-3G
DVD: HP 22X DVDRW Internal IDE w/Lightscribe
CASE: Power Up Black Mid T ATX Case w/450w PSU
OS: Windows 7 Home 64bit

A few days ago I noticed my monitor was not going to sleep. It seems to have started after I tried Windows Live Mesh or at least that's when I noticed it anyway. The only other software or drivers I've installed since I last knew it was going into sleep mode is the Microsoft IntelliType Pro software. I've unistalled Live Mesh and the IntelliType software and still no go. I've even tried system restore to a point a day before I knew the monitor was going into sleep mode.

System is now and always has been malware free. I installed MSE, Malware bytes and even SuperAntiSpyware to be 100% sure. The only programs running are Live Messenger, Yahoo Messenger and I do use Media Center with my tv tuner. They have always been running and never stoped the monitor from going to sleep before.

I'm a little stumped on this issue. Any ideas for solutions I haven't tried.

I also tried unistalling the mouse and keyboard then letting Windows reinstall both devices. I also tried unplugging my mouse from the system and still have the same issue. I've already checked the Microsoft HID Non-User Input Data Filter and reinstalling the IntelliType drivers.

I do not use a screen saver. It's disabled. I have also checked the sleep settings. Reset them to default and tried differnt times from 1 minute to 30 minutes. No change.

Tried plugging my monitor into the other other hdmi out on my video card. There was no change. I also tried removing and reinstalling my video card drivers and no change there either.

Tr by commandline:
Start
CMD
hit enter
POWERCFG /?
hit enter
look for the "/change" switch an see the example there.
Hope that helps

Well the issue has seemed to have worked itself out. It appears reinstalling the video card driver did the trick even though at first the monitor wasn't going into power save. Thanks for all your suggestions.
