I have every sleep and auto-powerdown function turned off on my PC, I use no power saving mode whatsoever.
Sleep mode, hibernate,turn off display are set to never.Also i am not using any screensavers. 
But even that sometimes my monitor going to sleep mode itself after some time of inactivity. Why?
Also in monitor settings AUTO POWER OFF is OFF.
 
 
My monitor is BENQ G2250 and g.card 980 Ti.

    Change your monitor settings in Windows to Sleep after 5 minutes, hit apply, and change it back to 'Never' again and hit apply. It might have just lost the setting. Make sure that PCI-E Link State power mgmt is off.

    I have to press a key or move my mouse for my screen to come back.
    Why?

    Check to see if your screen saver is set to "Blank." If so, change it to "None."

    this could be driver related, how long has this been occurring?
    OS?
    Driver?

    auto update will turn it on then put it to sleep due to activity.

    Maybe the firmware currently loaded on your monitor has a bug? Try updating the firmware if a newer version is available.

    My screen sometimes goes blank after a period of inactivity ( like 8 hours )? And sometimes not!. My monitor screen just turns off ( yellow light ). Then i just turn my mouse and screen goes back to normal. ITS TOTALLY RANDOM!


    I have disabled all sleep functions.
    I disabled the screen saver and I disabled theOPTION of the OS turning off the screen. Yet, the screen will still turn itself off after a period of inactivity. I'm currently using a BENQ G2250. All powerSAVING is disabled in monitor menu.
    Due to inactivity my monitor can shut off after 13 hours , but sometimes he dont shut off after for example 14 hours.
    Any clues? Its a bug in windows?
     
     
     
    Also i had the same problem on my second computer ( other mainboard, other monitor, other ram, other ram, other graphicCARD , other processor ). Totally different pc and the same problem.
     
     
    So its not computer issue for me. Did you have any clue then?
     
    The screen will still randomly turn itself off after a period of inactivity despite all of sleep settings turned to NEVER.
