  There are 2 solutions. If the message appears from time to time,
you're in trouble -- and I already saw answers posted, so I won't
waste time on repeating them.
  Second solution is if it only appears some second - two before the
monitor shuts down while inactive; this is perfectly normal situation
then and merely means that the videocard stopped sending any data to
monitor and entered powersave mode before the screen came out. (most
modern monitors display either a screen test or "no signal input" and
don't just black out if there is no signal).
  But even if this is the case, the fact that this didn't happen
before troubles me some.
