when i go to turn on my pc, nothing happens on the computer screen. I checked the video card in another computer and it works. What else could be the problem? The computer turns on, all the lights and fans turn on but the screen just stays black.

What about the monitor or its cables? Have you tried another monitor & changed the cables?
You can attempt a fix by booting from your ‘Recovery’ CD and following the instructions for ‘Repair’.
If and when the repair has finished you will get the C: prompt. Now type chkdsk /r (NOT chkdsk/r but chkdsk space /r) and press return (enter). This means run a program called check disk and repair any faults found on the hard drive.
If that didn’t work I am now going to assume that your Windows Loader file is corrupt and it is this that is causing your problems.
First of all you need to have your C prompt sitting at the root directory of your hard drive. This can be achieved by typing cd c:\
You need to rename your corrupt loader file by typing ren ntldr ntldr.old – did you get an error message? If so you might not be at the root directory so try cd c:\ again and then rename the ntldr file.
Now copy your good original loader file from the Recovery CD and put it back into the root directory of your hard drive. For this exercise I am going to assume that your CD drive is drive D but it could be drive E or even F so replace the D in my instructions with your own CD drive letter. Here goes:
Copy D:\i386\ntldr c:\
In English – Copy SPACE D:\i386\ntldr SPACE c:\ - you should now be able to re-boot.

i had the exact same problem and it turned out to be a CPU problem try this,
open up the cover of your computer so you can see the motherboard
then turn on the computer, you should be able to see a row of 4 LED's if everything is alright with the CPU etc.. all 4 should be green but if one or more lights up red then you have a CPU problem

Try resetting CMOS. Also reseat 12V ATX 4 pin cpu power connector on the motherboard.

first connect another monitor to your computer to make sure the problem is in your computer or just the monitor
