Sounds like the video card or on board video is shot, try installing anew video card.

Could be more than just video. Many of things can cause this. Go through all basic procedures. Take one ram chip out, then try other. Also a bad processor will cause this as well.

Thanks for all your help. is there anyway telling what video card i need to get thank again

I sincerely doubt the video is bad. All PCs perform a Power-On Self Test (a.k.a. POST) and one of the very last steps is to enable the video adapter. If any step fails prior to this, you get no video since it hasn't been enabled yet.

This can also be caused by turning off the PC while it is in Sleep Mode... it somehow scrambles things up...

I would try to disconnect the PC from the power source, then clear the CMOS (ie. by taking out the battery for 10 min or more), while holding the power on button for a few minutes (to deplete power stored in caps)...
