    A bit more information is required here... are you using on-board graphics or a graphics card ??? and what are the specifications of your computer,are the fans running, any beeps etc... the more information you give the more response you will get.;)

    Can you get into the BIOS settings by continually pressing 'Delete' when you sart computer and have you tried the onboard graphics connection, Is it a single ''BEEP'' you hear, is the memory stick OK, try another if you have one. And is Monitor OK, Make sure all components are well seated.ie memory,etc.
