Maybe you inadvertantly changed to a non-functioning
display setting in Windows......
try starting up your computer in "safe mode".........
if the monitor works, then change the display setting back
to a functioning resolution rate.... if you are not certain
what it should be you might want to start with 800 x 600 .

and see what happens.
2) If it is your monitor, unplug the AC power line and the signal
line from the computer and let the monitor sit for 15 minutes or so.
Turn the computer on without the monitor being connected and see if
the computer misses the monitor. Assuming you have the plug and play
capability, remove the monitor logically from the computer. Then
reconnect the monitor and see what happens. The computer should
recognize a new connection and attempt to restore the monitor using
the plug and play capability.
Good luck.

Remember this advice is worth what it cost you
1) Scrounge another monitor to be sure it is your monitor. Hook it up
and see what happens.
2) If it is your monitor, unplug the AC power line and the signal
line from the computer and let the monitor sit for 15 minutes or so.

combination not supported by your monitor, but supported by the
borrowed one, the fault will appear to be in the monitor (I found this
to my cost last week).
wait (e.g. 1 coffee), monitor on, wait 10 seconds, PC on] can
sometimes help - the monitor may start then go into power saving mode.
A loose VGA plug can cause this as well (so by extension a broken
wire) - one test for this is: Does it go into power-wasting mode
(assuming it supports that misfeature - plug it in to mains but not
vga - most newer monitors will display something like "no signal" on
the screen.

Useful but... if you've set (e.g.) windows to a display freq/res
combination not supported by your monitor, but supported by the
borrowed one, the fault will appear to be in the monitor (I found this
to my cost last week).
Another though is that sometimes the sequence [monitor off, pc off,
wait (e.g. 1 coffee), monitor on, wait 10 seconds, PC on] can
sometimes help - the monitor may start then go into power saving mode.
