Could be faulty graphics card, faulty power supply. Is the computer powering on properly and only the monitor stays off, or when the monitor stays off is it actually because the computer itself is off?

The way to test is to try another monitor and see what happens. There are a lot of possiblilites. Also worth checking is if you do/don't hear any usual/unusual beeping noises. When the monitor does come on, do you see any unusual message at all? Does the computer operate normally once you have got it started?
