Seems like a GPU problem. Try inserting the GPU in another machine and check if it is working.

Also check up your SMPS.

If SMPS cab't supply the requred amount of power, then PS would be ON but there won't be any display.

You can check GPU for any problem and use iGPU to see whether the problem continues or not.

looks like the resolution went out of sync, which OS do you use?

do you get POST screen? if yes then start OS in safe mode and reset display resolution to the native resolution.

ya he got it once when he removed the ram

If BIOS screen is coming up one specific RAM module and it isn't coming up with using other modules, then it might be RAM problem. Although ore info needed to be sure about that.
