have you tried a different input on the monitor?Same thing happened with my Samsung monitor, the DVI Port stopped working but HDMI did, I had to end up updating the firmware for the Input before it worked again. It just happened one day and not by fiddling around with anything.It only has a dvi and VGA and both work fine and iv tried other screens and they won't connect either but I figured out that the computer did connect but it was just a black screen and I can't get it to work

What happens if you boot in safe mode?......I would personally use The DVI and if the monitor has a DVI port use a DVI-DVI Cable, but that isn't too important here.The thing is since it's a desktop I can't see anything so how do I boot up in safe mode without seeing what's happening and I don't have a dvi to dvi cable

are you able to login without the screen being visibly seen? Can you hear the login sound if you type in the password and hit enter....This will distinguish if it is a video problem or if it is more serious.No because I always have my sounds muted and with windows 8 it doesn't have log in sounds
