If you get no picture at all from the time the computer flashes with the Dell screen or HP manufacturer screen with the memory test referred to as the POST (power on self test) screen then you have a video card problem. I would check it for being seated properly. If it's not soldered to the board remove it and reseat it and screw it down to the case and see if you get some sort of activity on the monitor. Even with no operating system or drivers installed you should get two colors and or 16 colors at the very worst when running XP.
