Have you plugged the monitor into a working computer to confirm it works properly?
If it works on another computer, check the video card in your computer. Usually the only way to reliably check video cards is to plug a good one in to see what happens. If you use an onboard video card, plug one in to a PCI or AGP slot. I usually keep a spare basic video card laying around for just such a situation. If these things don't work, then maybe you have something wrong on the MOBO--either memory, or another item. To find out, you could unplug all expansion cards (PCI, AGP, PCI-E, memory, etc) then start plugging them back in one at a time (video first, then memory) to see if any are the culprit. If not the MOBO, then the power supply could be bad (even if one voltage rail is bad, things can go sour) so you would need to swap in a good one. Unfortunately, there is no way to guarantee electronic circuits will not fail. They are all man-made and subject to random failure. If you've done all you can in the way of protection (surge protectors, clean interiors and heat sinks, proper antivirus protection, etc) then the only thing you can do is accept the fact that electro/mechanical devices will fail and be prepared for it.
