rutet - it is possible that your monitor died.  This does happen.

check to make sure the cable is connected to the back of the computer if this is a tower sort of system.  if it is a laptop, or the wire is securely attached, check the brightness contrast controls.

If you have a laptop, then it will probably need to go back to the manufacturer for service.  If it is a tower system, try a different monitor, then try a different video card if the monitor is still black.

More than likely your monitor or vidcard went bad.  My monitor did the same thing a few weeks ago, turns out it's number was up.  Your vidcard may be overheating as well.  Never hurts to clean your cooling fans, any openings in the case that let air circulate, and the heat syncs with some Qtips.  Also check to make sure your vidcard is securely in it's slot on the motherboard.
