i've tried another monitor, but it still doesn't show anything. also, after i disconnect the monitor, it says no cable connected. so i know that the monitor connects. why isn't it showing up on the screen??
Can you boot into SAFE Mode by tapping F8 continuously at Boot until the Menu comes up and then selecting SAFE Mode.
If you can, and you get a Video Display while in Safe Mode, then the problem is most likely in the Video Adapter (onboard or graphics card) either physical failure or corrupted drivers.
could also be
CPU/Mobo failure
RAM failure
Power Supply failing

Can you boot into BIOS

If you can boot into BIOS, check the various settings to confirm that your Video Adapter is being recognized.
