Have you since changed monitor?

I know you said you already done this but the only other thing I can think of is removing the inbuilt GPU drivers and dedicated GPU drivers to force your computer to use windows 7 default drivers, for me to suggest anything or give instructions I would need your computer model number or specs if it is custom built.

I would recommend connecting your old monitor which should boot fine then change your resolution to 800x600 or something similar just make sure it is low then shutdown your computer, once that is done connect your new monitor which should boot fine then scale the resolution up slowly 1 by 1 into you find the highest resolution which works on your monitor.
