Do you get a message on the monitor?
Is the power for the monitor direct or through the power supply of your PC?
From what I understand of your problem you should get a message on your monitor like "No signal"
The most likely cause of your problem is a faulty power supply. (assuming that you have everything plugged in properly). It is one of the cheapest parts to replace. If you want to you can follow the directions in this video and see if it is the cause.
