Computer issue.

Hey guys, im having a computer issue that i hope some of you can help me with.
i have a Dell Dimension running a AMD sempron and 1gig of ram. it has a Nvidia card on board.
here is my issue, sometimes when i exit a game or program the screen goes blank and wont come back up. the computer dosnt crash mind you. i can open programs and close stuff, and bring up the task manager. i just cant see it. how do i know that i can open these things you ask? well after i try some things i just hit the power switch, THEN the screen kicks in, i can see all that i have opened and then see it all shut down couse i cant stop the shut down.
Now my laptop did this often but it was no biggie, i just hit the FN+Mon butten and it reset the monitor. dose the desktop have one of them? if not how do i fix this! thanks.

A desktop shouldn't be doing that. Check the power settings and see how quickly the computer is set to sleep, hibernate, etc. I am going to assume this is Vista?
