I can see you messed up. First of all you always get DVD drives for both for copying purposes. Then you could have bought the Sony 830a with RAM. I know you can put more memory in that . You got a decent graphics card. If I remember right it is from last year.
Problem: Maybe it is overheating. I know on my Gforce FX 5200 OC, I had changed it to the bottom slot. Well lo and behold, I started having issues. Seems my machine would turn off. I put it back to the top slot and not another problem has occured. Overheating is the nemesis of video cards and motherboards. Open the case and see what happens. I presume you are away from any heat sources. The monitor cord hooks up to your video cord,(I am just guessing) but if it were to overheat, the bios might turn it off somehow. The video board would reset my machine so why not turn off your computer monitor.
That is about all my guessing. But go to pcworld.com and cnet.com. You need to subscribe for free to both of them. They keep you posted as to what is going on. Also, pcworld.com has some articles on building your own pc. Check them both out.

Sounds like a video driver issue. Try booting into safe mode to see if you get the same result. If the mainboard has onboard video, try using this to isolate whether there is a problem with the video adapter or video adapter driver.

check that you have the monitor plugged in all the way, you may have a bad video card, or port if its built directly onto the motherboard. try putting in a PCI video card, and plugging the monitor into it. Hope this helps.
my personal opinion, you should stay away from asus motherboards.

Sounds like your Graphics card isn't outputting anything to your monitor, make sure your monitor is plugged directory into your Nvidia Graphics card & not the motherboards built in graphics card....

Is the monitor connected to the hard drive? Is the cord that connects both working? Try calling your local computer repair shop

Nothing wrong with your hardware mate, so no need to show off with a list. Just turn your power save off. Simple.

you should boot into the bios, and check those settings. If those are good, try booting into safe mode, and checking you power saving settings. That should do the trick. :)
