Display Power Management Signalling. I think maybe your video card is weirding out on you.

You'll want to check your cable connections first. If you have an extra monitor handy, try swapping it in and see what happens. I'm thinking you will have to replcae your video card, though.

I say just turn off dpms support in the BIOS and turn off the monitor every time you leave the PC. Otherwise I am with Dngrsone. You may want to check the cable you are using and also see if there is any dust lodged in the pins on the back of the card. Basically, see if there is any reason for the interrupt signal not be be reaching the monitor.
