There are several things that can cause your display not to work. Does anything show while booting or shutting down? Can you get to the BIOS setup? If the answer is no, then most likely there is a connection problem with the display; no power or communication connection. If you can see something on the screen at boot up or whenever, then there is a software problem; drivers, a gag application running (check Start/Run/msconfig Startup list to see what is running at startup). Chances are that the external would not work either, but check anyway.
