    More info would be nice.

    What Operating System?

    Can you see ANYTHING from the point you press the power button?

    1)  Shut computer down...
    2)  Attach a different monitor...
    3)  Reboot...
    4)  Change screen resolution back to what it was before...
    5)  Shut down...
    6)  Re-attach previous monitor...
    7)  Reboot...

    Keep us posted...
