Two options in this mater. One you have a graphic card problem, or two you have a memeory problem. May time when changing out material this can happen. Try to reset the memory and graphic card. If this does not help them you will need to change one or the other of them.

Hope this will help. Does not sound like a HDD problem sounds more like hardware problem in your mother board.

to be able to help you, you need to explain your problem better.

What do you mean by saying "no display on the monitor"?
