  • See if the Monitor connection is securely in!

    It'll stay in standby I think, if it is not connected properly (ie. No Signal Received)
  • Do you know if it downloaded any new drivers when the computer updated yesterday?

  • I would suspect initially that the graphics card is at fault.

    Find out you make/model of graphics card, and see if there is any updated drivers to get for it.
