    Also try a linux livecd. See if that gets something on your screen. If it does than you might have a windows video card driver issue.

    If it doesn't work it might be a loose/bad video card. If it's an onboard video try installing a video card if you have one laying around.

    Can you at least get into the bios, if you press delete during bootup?

    Thanks jony218
    It is an onboard video card.I think I have another video card amongst my many bits and pieces.Your other possibilities I will try first as soon as I get the time.
    Thanks
