Yea, or check the connection of the monitor cable, if you have it on the wrong video port, it might do something. I.E. The onboard video and a video card, try changing them because somehow the settings on the computer might not have been configured for the video card yet.
Also, if that doesn't work try resetting the CMOS(saved bios memory) You can probably google that easily, its basically finding where ur jumper is for that, taking it out for about 10 seconds, and putting it back in.

I had this happen to me once. Except with an athlon. I couldn't get anything loaded up. I just took out the CPU and tried blowin on it, and changing the thermal compound. you could have just as well fried it, but I would take it to get a diagnostic at a computer store.
If you tried overclocking it, reset ur CMOS, and set it back. (see manual for more details) If that doesnt work -.-
good luck

Check the video card connection.
Pull out the plug from the Video Card and place it back in while the PC is off then restart. If that dosen't work you may have a video card problem but I doubt that, this should work.

Oh, if you re-set the CMOS, that could be a fix also.... This actually worked for me once also when i had the same problem.
