How long does it take before your monitor goes off?
Is the time exactly the same?

It maybe that the power management options are setup wrong, ie windows is turning off the monitor after a set time.

Or could be that the BIOS power management is having an influence.

Also check to make sure your graphics card/cable is connected firmly.

Best thing if you can is to try another monitor, as it maybe that your current on is losing sync and may have an internal failure.

What kind of monitor are you using, TFT (flatscreen) or CRT (tube)?

Instead of loading Windows again, do a virus scan, if you really think that there is one, on your computer.

Yes, go here for a free online scan.
