You mean it's a black screen? like a screen that's black after u start up ur comp? does the computer ever completely load up? what do u mean u can 'hear' windows start up? the windows start up sounds? idk how but if thats true its just probaly a loos cable or maybe its time for a reseat of ur vid card.

do you have a different graphics card you could try? i would assume that is the problem. also try restarting, and maybe a different monitor. it *could be a resolution incompatibility (but probably not).

I'll remove the ATI HD2400 graphics card and just connect the integrated graphics card to see if any comes up on the screen. But the last thing i installed was vmware workstation to run xp then i rebooted and got nothing but a black screen.
