could be the vid card, have you got a spare or one you could borrow to try?
could take cmos battery out to reset bios too, youd be amazed how many times that can cure a seemingly dead pc
if memory was damaged youd also get a black screen, take memory out and see if cmos creates the beep code for no memory (beeeep beeeep beeeep in long bursts, thats asuming the internal speaker works and is plugged in)
a dead cpu would also give you a blank screen too.
