New Dell monitor keeps going into power save mode
I just purchased my first ever Mac product and got the Mac Mini. I also bought a new Dell s2415h monitor to go with it. For no reason whatsoever the monitor will come up and say either it's going into power save mode and then sometimes after that it will say that it's not connected to a computer and needs to be connected. This is so frustrating as it will work fine for a while then this happens and I can't seem to get it out of power save mode no matter what I try. My monitor has both a VGA or HDMI on the back of it and I have an HDMI cable plugged into it and the mini as well. Can anyone tell me how to get this to stop happening or if I need to buy some other kind of cable to use? When I had the monitor plugged into my old, very old PC with Windows it worked fine.
Mac mini (Late 2014), OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)
