Does the monitor work with the other computer? Is it on the correct source and everything?

Try changing the RAM around, put them in different slots or take some out, I've had sucess doing that in the past.

Try your monitor on his PC? Also make sure the monitors in the graphics card not the motherboard. That helped when I was building mine. When I finished and my monitor didnt show up I almost shat myself

Well then a port you are putting the monitor in has gone bad.

Try replacing your motherboard with his and see if it shows up then. If it does you know the motherboard is the fault.

your mother board should have came with a test speaker try plugging that into your board and then turn it on if it beeps once then the PC is fine

You might as well switch monitors if you cannot get anything else to work.

Might be a driver and/or a BIOS problem. Update them, but don't flash the BIOS to update it if you don't know what you're doing, otherwise you trash the thing (unless you magically know how to recover it))
