I would say that your PC itself is not on, if it is, then you may have a bad
video card.
Turn PC off, hold in the power button for 10-15 seconds, this should turn
off the unit, wait for 30 seconds and turn back on. If you see the
manufactures logo or the CMOS (BIOS) info then allow the PC to come up.

If this is not the issue, can you get into the CMOS or even view it? If not
you may have no power going to the PC, look at the power supply.

The more info you give a group the better it is to fix an issue.

Good Luck

Try this if you could boot into safe Mode:
It means that you have a refresh rate not supported by your monitor for some
reason, you may be played a game or run an application that changed the
refresh rate on your monitor, download this tool from here to fix the refresh
rate:

If you wish/would like a system restore you can do by clicking Start >> All
Programs >> Accessories >> System tools >> System Restore.
or by command line:
%systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe

You can do the above in Recovery Console or on Run command in windows.
HTH.
Let us know.

OK, I agree with Nass, it may have been a game you played, again the more
info you give will make troubleshooting easier.
Are you able to go into safe mode? If so, did you check the video settings?
Turn PC on, wait for CMOS to post, BEFORE the WINDOWS logo comes up,
press/release the F8 key, if the logo comes up it did not work, power down
PC and start again. Once you are in;
The only thing in here would be to check that the video is enabled, and that
it starts in AGP mode NOT PCI, unless you do have a PCI card, save your
settings and exit. I do not recommend changing any other settings.

Let us know....

I had the same problem with my new HP Pavilion and Princeton LCD monitor
a year ago. Starting in safe mode, then setting the screen resolution to
the desired level also worked for me. If you've never used safe mode,
pressing the F8 key at the right time can sometimes be tricky. Just keep
trying -- Press F8 repeatedly (not holding the key down) as you start up
the PC.
