    Do you have another graphics card lying idle around the gaff? .. if so give it a shot, at the very least it will rule out your graphics card as being the source of the problem

    As you've rightly identified, it's not the monitor as you've tried a few others, but rather some setting you've changed in your bios. Check your motherboard. there should be a jumper on there to reset the CMOS. That should at least let you start up your PC with the basic settings which will let you in to your BIOS to play around to your heart's content.

    Ill go out on a limb and say that you were tryin to overclock the cpu and the mobo dosent like it ,read your mobo manual and see where the clear cmos/bios jumper is.plug ur pc out than put the jumper on the clearing pins for 20 sec than put the jumper back to normal place,and hopefully that should fix it ! .Did u try it with a different video card aswell ??
