    on start up, go to setup and see if you can start it in safe-mode, that way you might get to trouble shoot it, if not, call a PC repair guy.

    Does the computer continue to stay on ? and only the monitor is malfunctioning ? ok from what you wrote yes only the monitor is not working . Do you have access to another monitor ? a friend with one ? I hope that one is under warranty . the fact you're getting the brand logo means you are connected to power .
    is a gray screen the normal color ? Ok when in doubt . Ok go behind the computer and trace the cable from the monitor ok there are 2 screws usually you're able to undo by hand , see if its loose if not undo entirely and then reassemble . hopefully this has an positive affect if not a repair shop is the best option

    that's tough to nail down . I think your best bet is a shop emily and come back and tell us what was the problem
