Do you hear any beeps when you turn it on?
Have you knocked it? Maybe try opening it up and seeing if theres any loose wires?
If there is give as a buzz and well tell you vaguely were to put them!

My monitor is working because I hooked up another pc that I have and the montor works., there are no loose wires anywhere in the motherboard. I haven't found the capacitators with the domed tops still looking for that. when I push the button all I get is a green light but the red one does not light up... there's no beeps. I was wondering if it was maybe the power supply not supplying enough power? thanks for all the help

Dude, I had a same problem with my computer once when I overclocked my p4 1.6 to 2.0. My cpu burned but motherboard was just fine. Computer was turning on but screen stayed black. I don't know if you did anything like that or no? so just assume that it is time for you to get a new computer since you have checked everything and haven't found any solutions yet.

is possible for bios to be screwed up by virus which is why i disable bios update if is in bios. not all boards have that.
