Whats happening is that the monitor being turned back on is causing
a noise pulse that is being seen as a reset pulse.

Several suggestions:
1.  Isolate the monitor, and make sure it doesn't touch the case of
the computer.

2.  Get a different brand monitor, and a better power supply.

3.  Check that the pull up resistor on the reset circuit is proper.

4.  don't turn it off :-)
