Try "Safe Mode"

I'd suggest it is your video card drivers, assuming monitor works on any
other sys

Video card drivers and monitor .inf files only apply after your OS
starts running. During the Boot process, it is your motherboard, BIOS,
video card firmware, and monitor electronic that control what happens.

Possibilities: 1) monitor failure, 2) video card failure or it is not
firmly plugged into the motherboard, 3) BIOS failure, 4) video card
extra power supply failure.

You need to narrow down the number of choices so that you at least know
what system failed. Then you can decide what repair options are
available. Do you have a second computer on which you can test the
monitor? Do you have a second monitor with which you can test your
computer? Can you do either of the above with a video card?

The installation of 64 bit software probably is co-incidental with the
real problem. Don't be stingy with details on your system. How old is
the motherboard, CPU, power supply, video card, etc.? What other changes
took place in addition to 64 bit software installation?

Trouble shooting computer problems is no different than that required
for anything else. Use a systematic approach, test one variable at a
time, use logical reasoning.
