If you had formatted your computer then first thing check out that the cable are fine. The monitor must receive the signal. If the card is not able to send the display then first get the latest drivers from the official site of the Graphic card. They are available for free download. Second thing right click on My Computer > Properties > Hardware > Device Manager. In the list check that your monitor and graphic card is installed properly without any mark on them. Just try to update drivers.
