    There computer is not connected to the monitor. That could be because of a bad cable or the monitor may be broken. Changing the resolution isn't going to help.

    If a friend's monitor works fine then you should check the monitor cable. Look for a bent or broken pin in the connector. If the monitor uses a cable that can be disconnected (some are hard-wired at the monitor end), get another monitor cable. If that doesn't work, your monitor is likely broken.

    Thanks Perito, Will try changing cable and use another monitor at work today. Will let you know how that fairs.

    If monitor is working on another machine, it would indicate that your video card has taken a dump, replace video card
