Quite often I will leave the computer (XP SP3) on for several hours and when
I return the ACER display will show "No Signal." CTL-ALT-DEL has no effect,
but if I reboot all is fine. Is this a video card problem?

Is the computer power off? You can make a fast check with either the Scroll Lock or Num Lock keys.
A light on the keyboard should change with either key if the computer has power.

You just may have the power setting configured to turn off the computer after x minutes of no
activity.
 
Look at the Power Options in the control panel, what are the Power Scheme settings?

| The computer is still on and the fan is running.
