Yes.. You could have a virus.. Or your monitor could be stuffed. How old/new is it? Sometimes the dust that accumulates inside the hardware is fatal.

User:- deviant youth

Problem:- Monitor switches off on bootup after display of windows splash screen.
(OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION NOT SPECIFIED)

User attempts:- Checked cables and other misc. connections.

Other symptoms:- Sound is heard but nothing is seen.

Possible problem:- Resolution set incorrectly

Solution:-
I
1. Bootup in safe mode by pressing F8 during booting sequence.
2. Go to display properties and change the resolution to the lowest one. Possibly VGA (640x480).
3. Press Apply, then OK.
4. Restart system.
5. If succesful END else goto II

II If OS=Win XP goto III else goto *
III
1. When you have booted up in safe mode select system restore and restore to an earlier time when problem was not specified.
2. Reboot
3. If successful END.

Thank you!

*Please specify OS

Nakulgutan is right it is a video resolution problem. You can also fix it by changing the resolution without doing a restore in display settings.

I really don’t think you will need to do a restore for this.
