Wow! That's an oldie...
When you boot your system, does it POST? Do you get a beep? Do all the lights & everything come on as usual & does the HDD click away like it's loading Windows? Or do the lights flash & everything stops?
If it seems to be POSTing & the HDD seems to be loading, I'd suspect the videocard or the monitor...if not, it's probably your CPU.
