If your machine boots for a while with the screen on and then the screen turns off then the video card may be setting a video mode not supported by the monitor. To see if that's the case I'd trying booting in VGA mode. There are instructions on how to do that on this page. If VGA mode works properly and the drivers for your video card are installed then you can change the video mode once it has booted to VGA mode. If VGA mode starts up properly then I'd check the display properties (open the Control Panel, double-click Display, select the Settings tab) and see if it recognizes your video card and monitor.

Is this a new video card that you've just installed or did it used to work properly and then it started having this problem?

enter your device manager and check for any yellow conflict alerts.

did you uninstall the first one, or if it was on-board video, did you disable it if necessary?
