Monitor goes in power save mode after startup

My monitor goes in to Power Save Mode after Windows startup when plugged in to the DVI port. It works in safe mode, and also when I plug the computer in to the TV with HDMI the port.

I updated the drivers, and the monitor works on an other computer. I also reset CMOS.

So my guess is a bad motherboard... Does anyone have an idea?

Here's the specs:

Asus p8z68-v pro gen3
Intel i7 2600k
120 GB OCZ Agility 3
16 GB RAM Blue Corsair DDR3
H80 Corsair liquid cooling
xfx PRO750W 80Plus bronze power supply

Have you tried going into the Control Panel and changing the power settings?

Also, you may want to try checking your video card to see whether it's loose/damaged.

Here's where I got my ideas from.

finaly, the power settings are fine. – Marc – 2012-08-04T18:42:30.457

I think I figured it out. Something must be starting up along with Windows when it isn't booting into Safe Mode. Try checking out the items listed in Start > Run > msconfig and disable half of the startup items. If the problem persists, disable the other half instead. Otherwise, re-enable half of the programs you disabled before. until the problem re-appears. Keep dividing the number of startup programs in half, and eventually you'll find out which one is causing the problem. If msconfig doesn't reveal it, try Autoruns instead.

Thanks, there was something called monitor status in msconfig and when i tried to disable it and reboot there was another monitor status that was checked. So I restored the computer to a couple of weeks ago and now it works. Thank you – Marc – 2012-08-11T16:11:42.140

Just want to share my experience which is very similar to what is described but slightly different config. My set up:

Asus p8z68-v lx
Intel i7 2600k
SSD
16 GB RAM
650W PSU
ATI GPU card
Dell 27-inch

After some fiddling, the issue disappeared when I replaced the graphics card. Hope this helps.
