check the connection points in the video connector, they can bend/retreat.
Also some monitors(older ones) are not recognised by XP, and work fine with win98.

check your ram... try booting with only one stick at a time, or simply re-seating your ram chips. I can't tell you how many times I've been baffled by ram problems...

If you're sure windows is running, then as far as your system is concerned everything must be fine. The fact that there is no video signal therefore has to mean some problem with either the motherboard, video card or monitor. You've eliminated 2, which leaves the motherboard :(

This is assuming of course that there is never any signal - not even during the post?
