Computer is booting up but I can not display video?

My friend asked me to look at his computer for him because i am a computer repair technician. The computer is booting up because I can hear the windows logon sound, but there is no display at all during the bootup process. I have checked and made sure that all of the cable are securely connected to the motherboard and that those cable are connecting to the devices. The video is part of the motherboard and i have tried installing a new video card into the PCI slot. But it still will not display anything. It is an old computer and only has two PCI slots one is being used for the modem. It has two 128mb chips and has a 80gig hard drive. i have no idea as to what operating system it is running. i have also tried taking out both of the memory chips and put them back in one at a time but still nothing. If someone has a way of fixing this please do post and let me know what it is.|||Is the monitor defective? Can you borrow another one from somewher and try it to see if you get a different result?

You might try re-seating all of the connections inside the PC including the IDE cables, memory, power supply, and the processor chip. Be very careful with the processor so that you do not bend the leads. If you drop it, you could be in serious trouble.|||Could be incompatible resolution, although bios would still show wouldnt it!

Try checking processor connection and the solder connections on the motherboard to the monitor port.
