Previously looked for help on windows support < HERE >
When my desktop PC goes into hibernation the system sounds for "device disconnect" and "device connect" starts playing repeatedly.
At first I thought it had something to do with adding a second monitor. But discovered it was caused by connecting the HP w2207 monitor with a DVI-D cable.
My 2nd monitor has only VGA connection. MY PC has ( 1) DVI-D and (1) VGA outputs so I reconnected the HP monitor to VGA. The cycle between device connect and disconnect does not occur.
SO how do i fix this without turning off the associated 2 sounds?

Condensed post from windows forum:
I followed the other forums advice
Method 1
Run Hardware troubleshooter.
Method 2
Step 1:
Let’s boot the computer in Safe Mode and check if issue reappears.
Step 2:
If your computer works fine in safe mode, I would suggest you to perform clean boot.
I did run in safe mode. In safe mode the PC will not turn off monitor in power saving mode.
control panel / power options / NO sleep option - only turn off display option but when set to "1 minute" nothing happens after 1 minute.
What I did discover after playing with power option in normal windows mode by setting
< Turn off display > "1 minute" and
< Turn off hard drive > "2 minutes"
After 1 minute system sounds would cycle for "Device connect" "Device Disconnect" until Hard Drive shuts down after 2 min. The monitor is disconnecting, reconnecting , disconnecting, reconnecting, until the hard drive shuts off or system wakes up.
When I added the second monitor to the system is when this started. but I disconnected the 2nd monitor and it was still doing it.
DING- DING- DING. What's different? The cables!
Originally I had #1 monitor connected with VGA cable. #2 monitor is older and only has VGA input.
So I got a DVI-D cable and connected #1 w/ DVI-D. I was still using the DVI-D cable for #1 with the #2 disconnected. So I reconnected # 1 with VGA cable and problem is gone. SORT OF!
Still doesn't solve the real problem. I should be able to use both monitors with both cables with out having the device on/off conflict.
MY PC has an Intel desktop board DH55TC with i3 Intel Core.
