The SB blanks it's display when it isn't/can't connect to the server.
Standard diagnostics then is to first localise the problem. The problem
you need to diagnose is whether it is the SB's problem or the Server's
problem.

If you have a PC active at the time you could try a couple of things,
use softsqueeze and see if that also has a problem and see if you can
connect to the slimserver.

If either of these fail then it tends to indicate a server problem if
they both work and the SB still has a problem then it suggests an SB
problem. However don't forget the LAN switch. If you diagnose a server
or SB problem first try changing the LAN port to exclude that as an
issue.

Putting a PC to sleep doesn't just stop it in it's tracks. A number of
things go on before it turns off power to preserve state and similarly
on startup hardware is reinitialised and set up before the processing
can resume from where it left off.

Taking guesses before diagnosis is dangerous, but it sounds like
something is causing the server to take longer to resume than normal on
those occaisions. Investigating the system logs may be useful.
