Check that its not a wiring issue. Simple human errors are common.

It could also be the monitor. I had this problem, one day I was working on the computer and all of a sudden the monitor shut off and wouldn't shut turn back on. I at first thought it was the video card, so i reinstalled a new one and still nothing.
