There is a couple of possibilities and things to eliminate.
Your monitor is acting like it's not getting a signal. First make sure your video cable is plugged in and tightly connected with the screws fully torqued down. Test the video card by wiggling the connected cord to see if the monitor comes on even temporarily. Try opening the case and re-seating the video card.
If you can get the monitor to stay on long enough go into the control panel and the properties page and make sure you screen saver or power management for energy savings is not set to zero.
If it's new you may have to go the your control panels add remove components and un-install the video card then re-install the driver again. Windows is famous for this requirement.
If you are using this as a second monitor connected to a laptop you will have to hit the corresponding function key on the top row of your keypad, F4 or ?...., to open the port to avail the signal.
On a mechanical level at the monitor depress the Menu button and try a few sizing adjustments to bring the picture back to shape.
Cable - HDMI, USB, VGA ? You may need an adapter to get the signal VGA to HDMI etc.
