What Operating System do you have?
If you're running Windows XP try this:
Go into Control Panel and select "Power Options". You should then get a dialogue box with various setting options for Monitor, Hard Disks and System Stand By.
You may use this to change your settings to something like:
Turn off Monitor: select "After 20 mins" - this will simply turn the monitor off after 20 mins but turn back on automatically on mouse movement or key press.
Turn off Hard Disks: select "Never" - that way computer will keep running.
System Standby: select "Never"
