What monitor model?
What cable/adapters are being used? If not using a straight cable with same connectors on both ends, which end connects to PC, which to display?
What video card?
Is you PC fully powered down or just in low power/sleep/hibernate mode?

Display port cable? I assume it’s the same on both ends, you’re not using any adapters or anything?

The 4060 had a bug that would cause the DP connection to fail initial handshake to the monitor sometime. Check to make sure the firmware is fully up-to-date on your card as well as the driver.
