Would really need more info.  Did you recently move the system?  Any diagnostic indicators on the front of the system?  What color is the power LED on your monitor?  Any beeps on POST?  The rest of the system seem to be powering up?

Could be a bad or loose video cable, unseated video card, dead video card, dead or unplugged monitor, bad motherboard slot, etc.

Are you still under warratny?  If not you still get tech support for the life of your system
