Second screen goes into sleep mode unexpectedly

Hello,

I decided to connect a Samsung 223bw screen as a second monitor to my laptop so I could watch my movies on a slightly larger screen.
However, a problem arises; the Samsung screen sometimes goes into sleep mode after 5 minutes, sometimes more or less.
I checked the display and graphics options, removed all possible sleep settings, and reduced the resolution, but it still goes into sleep mode anyway.

Do you have any idea what might be causing the problem?
Is my screen defective?

Thanks to everyone for your help!
Configuration: Windows XP Firefox 2.0.0.11
