Find the manual of your motherboard. When you boot the beeps you hear mean something (for exemble 1 long and 3 short beeps could mean "cannot find a graphic adapter")

My monitor won't kick on eveything powers up but it's like the monitor doesn't recognize a driver i know it's not the monitor it might be my video card but it's highly unlikely. One day i turned off my comp and not even 2 minutes later i go to turn it back on and it won't kick everything has power but nothing would boot i didn't even get any beeps.
For the other post what the beeps are something that has to do with the hardware??????
