Nothing is Being Displayed on my Monitor!

I recently bought a new ATI 9800XT card and it's been running smoothly for about a month now. Suddenly, one day, I turn on my computer and my monitor does not display anything! At first, I though it was my monitor (which has been lately turning weird shades of yellow every now and then, then back to white), but I plugged in a different monitor into my PC today and THAT monitor didn't show anything (that monitor works on a diff. PC, though). I really don't know what the problem is here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Do you hear any post beeps? Have you tried the second display output of the card?
 
My motherboard is an Asus a7n8x-e Deluxe - I'm not sure whether or not it has onboard video. I don't think it does. My old card was fried, so testing that would be impossible, but tomorrow I'm going to take out my roommate's card (we've got almost the same build) and see if that works.

Also, just now I noticed that my backlit keyboard is lit up! Usually, the lights go out after my PC is turned off (which it is). That's very confusing...

Thanks for the replies - I hope I get this resolved soon 🙁
 
Yes, the old card was installed in this mobo. I have not made any changes at all to the bios. My keyboard is usb. Also, I just realized that when I push the button that usually makes the backlight go off on the keyboard, nothing happens.
