Turn on the computer and start taping f10 to see if you can access boot Manu.

If you can access the Boot Manu the it means the operating system is corrupt.

If no Boot Manu appears then Its a hardware problem, the graphics card may be defected or The rams may be not sited properly.

See other suggested solution here: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/findbysymptom/ht/nothingonscreen.htm

Hope that is helpful.
