    If you see nothing on the screen ever, it could mean your video chip is dead.
    This is a slot that computer has: One PCI Express ×16 (graphics interface)
    Borrow a video card and see if you get a display.

    Sometimes unplugging the PC and removing the CMOS battery for a minute or two and putting things back will get you a BIOS screen. Might be worth a quick try to see if any change.
