Ideas?

Just go into Device manager once you're there, and then delete any Display Adapters that are there. Then, just reinstall your video drivers, and see if that doesn't help.

It may simply be that the default resolution that Windows is currently set to is not supported by either monitor you tried. Before you go mucking about with the drivers, go into Safe mode, open the Desktop menu, go to the Properties window, click on the Settings tab, and set the video resolution slider to 640 x 480 or 800 x 600. Click on OK to exit, then reboot. Check on the Internet to see what your monitors support, or look under Control Panel -> Monitors to see if they are listed.
