Problem with standby mode

After I put my computer in standby mode then turn it back on, it goes to the logon screen. I type in the password, but then the screen goes black and the monitor LED turns orange. It seems to lose the signal. This only happens after putting it in stand-by. Otherwise my computer works flawlessly.

Could vista be causing this, or could it be hardware? When I first got my computer I know this didn't happen, but it gradually started and now it happens every time I put my computer in stand-by. I have no idea why this happens, but am contemplating reinstalling windows. Perhaps that would fix it.

PS: It is not my Bios or graphics drivers. I updated both already and this did not help.
 
I believe I had this issue before, whats the standby mode set to in the BIOS? It should be set to S3 IIRC.
 
Mine is set to S3 STR (is this the same as IIRC?). I think it means save to ram. The other option is POS: power on suspend.

which do I want?
