there should be atleast some clue of what type of problem this is.monitor not working, windows not booting, no display signal, or just set the wrong resolution like someone had posted earlier.

well, i had a frnd, who had just bought a new rig. he plugged in his vga connector into his onboard port, (although there was a seperate pcie gpu) thinking, the gpu will not work until, the drivers are installed. and he didnt get a signal.

I've had that problem very often, particularly on rainy days.
I just leave the power on, and the window boot screen appears sometimes after 15 minutes, sometimes after 2 hrs.
And yeah, before all check your ram and remove and reinsert it.

check if your monitor is working on any other PC, check if any other monitor is working with your pc. the problem will be isolated.

tell us if you have a separate graphics card or you use onboard one.
try to be as detailed as possible.

Monitor is working and there is no separate graphic card, its onboard.

As I said, remove ram sticks, clean and reinsert. Leave the system open for few hours. See if it works. For the same problem, it has worked a number of times for me. Try with other ram sticks.
