We're just Horses
Random thought.
Before mankind civilized, when we were still hunter/gatherers, there was no human use for horses, humans had no idea the value a horse was to them, yet. The horse population was tiny. Then mankind learned how control their food supply about 10,000 years ago as the neolithic era began and suddenly mankind had a use for horses, a big use. For thousands of years horses were a lot of things but primarily function of transportation. They had "jobs". Their population as a result grew exponentially to fill those jobs or more succinctly, their population was "grown" to fit that need and there were lots of horses. Fast forward to the industrial age when horses are replaced by machines.. in farming, transport and pretty much any job there was for a horse. The horse population has dropped back to pre-neolithic numbers in just under 100 years due to 'industrialization'. Why does that keep me up at night? Robots, more aptly, artificial intelligence, will eventually have the same affect on humans as industrialization had on horses. AI will be the next 'industrialized age' but AI-industrialization will replace all the functions a human has in the production of everything and anything. The human necessity will drop to <10%. 90% of human beings will be essentially irrelevant for anything. Like the horses, our population will should fall in lockstep with this change but unlike horses, we have strong social, biological and religious attachments to prolific reproduction. If the AI replacement of our labor happens in-pace with a falling reproduction rate (like what's happening in Japan) then the replacement of humans with AI may have limited interruptions but if human jobs are rapidly replaced by AI, wiping out the human need in entire industries, in 1 or 2 generations then it will be catastrophic. The peaceful reduction of the population would come from a rapid reduction in human reproduction. I don't see that happening so the rapid reduction of the population will most likely have to happen via death. And I'm not done there. Let's fast forward to the logical conclusion and assume that the AI replacement of humans doesn't result in a Terminator like future (let's hope!) but instead maybe closer to that of Wall-E. When humans become irrelevant regarding the production of everything/anything, when it's all done for us.. will money still be relevant? Would there even be a need for an 'economy'? What will the reduction in the human population look like? Today we're horses in high demand, tomorrow we won't be. So that's my random thought today.

Bios is the motherboard's built in OS. If just have a blank screen though it may not even be getting to that. Was there any strange beeps from the board? Although it could just be a problem with monitor itself or the video card or a connection etc.. does the PC appear to be doing a normal boot and just not showing anything on the screen or os it doing something strange or not really doing anything. Sometimes you have to pay close attention to the beeps and lights to try and figure put what is working. If you think it's the video card you could try plugging the monitor into the motherboard itself (if there is an onboard option). Or if you happen to have an old video card laying around..

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!
