Start with the obvious first.

If the monitor really isn't showing anything, could it be the monitor? Check the monitor setting to makes sure it isn't on the wrong input, verify the cables are tight, etc. If all of that is successful, can you plug in another monitor, or maybe connect your PC to your TV (most of them have VGA type connections on them these days).

It its not the monitor (because you have ruled that out trying a new good one) you go from there. If you are getting no display that would be difficult. You'd want to reseat the memory, etc. Ultimately you may have to replace the video card assuming you have a separate one. Maybe a buddy has an old one that you can borrow long enough to see if that works before you spend money on one (again, assuming this is a desktop and not a laptop).

EDIT: ugm what @p1l0t said!
