Does the PC have on board video and a discreet Graphics card? If you have both then you could of disabled the card in bios. Plug the monitor into the on board graphics and see if you get a picture. If only on board graphics or no joy with that then try resetting the bios by using the jumper pins on the motherboard. They located usually near the CMOS battery (looks like a watch battery) it will be markes as CLR CMOS or something similar. Short the pins with the jumper then boot the pc and see if you get a picture, Turn off the pc and remove jumpers back to original position. This will reset the bios back to defaults
