No, it isn't that. I remember before when I first turned it on there would be a flashing cursor in the upper left corner of the screen. Now there isn't even that. I waited several minutes and there were no beeps or disk activity, either. And I know the monitor works because I tested it on another computer.

Yeah, I'm the guy that bought it :-) This is your old PC. BTW, a friend of mine was able to get me another monitor for it.

I'll try messing with it a little more this afternoon. Thanks to everyone for the suggestions.
