have you tried booting into safe mode? perhaps your resolution is set too high, for your monitor.

safe mode will allow you to boot with a basic drivers and a basic setup.

to do that, just hit F8 as soon as windows starts loading, actually start pressing F8 repeatedly just before that until the startup menu shows up.

does your monitor light flash after you hear windows loading? if it does it might be refresh rate. like he said ^^ safe mode and make it low. install drivers in safe mode too, should boot normally. let us know how it goes.
