Are the monitors you tried both ones that you know to be working?

Are the monitors set to display the type of input they are hooked up to the tower with? (i.e. VGA)

well i'm sure at least 1 of the monitors works cuz thats the one i'm using for some other pc and it works fine.

Unplug the computer.
Remove the battery (CMOS) from the motherboard.
Hold down the power button on the computer (with it all disconnected) for 10 secs.
Wait a minute or two.
Replace battery.
Replace power cable.
Try again.
