NTLDR File is Corrupt. System cannot boot. Plus "No Signal" on monitor.

[Theograd]

 Hello, everyone. Encountered a strange error when I woke up this morning on my PC. I left it defragmenting my one, and only, hard drive.

Anyways, the error read something like this:
Filedirectory/ NTLDR not found / corrupt, system cannot boot.

I was like "Uhhh ok..." and hit the OK button and ever since when I attempt to turn on my PC, nothing happens. The fans, lights, everything comes on. But the screen says "Signal Not Found" and the monitor just seems to turn off.

Has happened multiple times. The BIOs/CMOS thingys or whatever don't even come up. So I'm not too sure what's going on. There's no hardware beeping going on either.

Yeah...so any suggestions on what's going on, and how to fix it?

Operating System: Windows XP Pro. SP2 x64

so far everything I've tried has failed.

Burned a .iso with some NTLDR files on it with my brother's PC, from:

http://tinyempire.com/notes/ntldrismissing.htm#What_if_the_computer_doesn't_have_a_floppy_drive?

Placed it into my CD/DVD drive, nothing as usual when I turn on the PC.

Every time I turn it on, I don't get anything. Just a "No Signal" message on my monitor. :S

I attempted to clear the CMOS, that has 3 pins. Pins 2 and 3 have to be covered, from what I read in the manual. So I took the jumper, covered the 2nd and 3rd pins and then turned on the PC. I received the same "No Signal" message.

I turned it off, and then moved the jumper back to 1 and 2, and still received the same "No Signal" message on my monitor.

Someone suggested:

1: take a USB drive, goto another computer. goto the c:/ drive, and click tools, file options, view, show hidden files and folders. also, uncheck "hide protected system files".

2: insert the USB drive.

3: COPY anything with NTLDR in it to the drive. do not cut or delete it, or your computer will not work again.

4: download a Linux live cd, preferably PClinuxOS or Ubuntu, and use it to boot into the broken computer.

5: once Linux is running from the CD, insert the USB

6 surprised pen your computer, and find the "WIMDOWS" folder. it should be in home.

7: copy all the NTLDR files directly into the WINDOWS folder.

8: reboot.

9: pray

10: SUCESS!

Thing is, I don't have a USB Flash Drive, and I have only 1 CD Drive in my PC at the moment.

Right now, I'm downloading Ubuntu Linux and I'm going to try to slap the NTLDR information on the .iso with it, so I can explore the .iso and sha-bam. Hopefully that may work. Not sure if I can get past this "No Signal" screen though.

Bad motherboard? Borked hdd? Not 100% sure yet.

Anyways, any help would be great.

Just now tried this, plugged in onboard, and still received the same "No Signal" message on my monitor.

Do you have one HD, or two?
Did you try another video cable?

have you tried using all of the factory cards and internal devices. Also check the card with another screen.
