Hi there
What do you mean 'the monitor was blown'? How do you know it was the monitor that was faulty, have you tested it on another computer?

When you say it works without the monitor, do the keyboard lights flash once just after turning the system on & do you hear a single beep?
If the monitor is connected, does the system not power up at all?

And then what? Does the power supply go off completely (ie does the fan inside the power supply stop etc)?
Can you also tell me, where does the monitor get it's power from? Most monitors are connected directly to a wall socket obviously but some connect to the back of the power supply in the computer. What about yours?

yaa.. the power supply will go off completely, there's nothing moving/workin inside there.
and my monitor power is connected to the wall socket, not to d cpu.

Ok, can you tell me if your video card is AGP or PCI?
Also, does your motherboard have an integrated video card as well? If you don't know, then look at the rear of the pc for a second connector thats identical to the one you normally use for connecting the monitor to.
It will be with the other ports (eg printer port, USB ports etc)

OK, you said before that you changed the VGA card.
Are you still using the old card or the new card now?
Also, can you tell me what the new monitor is & whether you changed the cables as well as the monitor?ie the power lead to the monitor & the signal cable from monitor to VGA card)
