Wow, that was a little hard to understand. Can you put everything in order, and use some punctuations?

Reboot in safe mode, uninstall your video card in the Device Manager, and restart normally. Your drivers may have been corrupted or a setting was changed for the worse.

Can you see the power on self test (post) on the monitor? If not, reseat the video card and/or reset the bios. If none of that works, try a different video card (also make sure the monitor is plugged into the right hole) or the integrated video if you have that. If you can see the post then I don't understand what your problem is.

I would try to take out the card and put it back in again, see if that helps.
