I would first check the cords.
If that doesn't work:
If at all possible, borrow another monitor and connect it in the same pc. If it does the same (shuts down), then it may be your video card.
If the borrowed one stays on fine, then your old monitor may be going bad.
I am curious if it goes at within a couple of minutes or does it get hot (around 10 -20 minutes) and then turn off.
If it is a heat issue, it may be time to replace the monitor.

Three possibilities:
1. it has a powersaving utility that forces it to turn off after inactivity
2. Its old and going bad and the tube is dying - most likely if its a tube monitor
3. The Operating system is using the incorrect driver - has the wrong driver installed - previous answer
Quick question, what type of monitor and how old?

Sounds like a faulty monitor or Video Card to me, if it was the drivers then it would reflect on the screen not the hardware.

It could be a power saving function, new monitors have their own power saving features independent of the computer.
