If the PC sounds like it is booting with the blank screen it could be the monitor. Try using that monitor on the other PC and see if it works there. If it does, then I would say it is a heat problem or PSU. Can you have the PSU checked? Try swapping it out with the other PC.

If you can view the BIOS screen but the screen goes blank from there, the display setting in the BIOS is probably wrong, especially if you reset CMOS & didn't go back & correct it. It's either set to onboard when you're using AGP, or AGP when you're using onboard...it may even be set to PCI.

So it isn't the monitor,PSU and you changed the BIOS to use the AGP graphics! Have you tested the memory? memtest86.com has a floppy or CD version. Did you mess around with the BIOS setup screens at all? What you might try is set them back to default and then of course change the Graphics back to AGP.

I think it is a heat problem. Either the memory is bad or heat is shutting down the PC because the CPU is getting hot. Does the Bios have a warning for over heating? Check the setup screens for a temp setting on the CPU. See what it is set at and listen for a beep just before the PC shuts down. Can you try any other memory? It has to be the same type of course.
