If the monitor goes to sleep shortly after it is turned on, it may not be receiving a video signal from the computer. Double check the cable connections. If possible, try another monitor or computer to isolate the problem to one of the devices.

Hi,

I am Jamal M from Dell Social Media and Communities team
This issue could occur if the cable is connected to a different VGA port, check if there is another port available on the back of the tower and connect VGA cable from the monitor to a different port on the back of the tower if available.

Please keep us updated regarding the issue.
