Hi, the monitor comes back on because something woke it. Usually this will be a program or service still running, so check your Task Manager to see what's busy and what's not.
Your bios will also have power settings which govern what can and cannot wake your pc from stand-by or sleep, so the prob may be there.
Best of luck.
