Sounds like it's booting but your display settings are outside of the range
the monitor can handle (eg. you set the frequency or resolution too high, or
the defaults are too high).

During boot up can you see the option to boot into safe mode? If so, and you
can get into safe mode, it's a graphics driver setting.

Have you tried booting safe mode? Could be a driver issue.
