So no matter what video card or monitor you used, it doesn't show anything? Motherboard's bad. Does the motherboard have integrated video? If so, perhaps you can go into BIOS to disable it or try plugging the good monitor into that VGA port.

the cables i used were those of both monitors. and how do i get to the BIOS with no signal messages

Are the screws on the monitor wire screwed all the way in the port??

The only time i had ever seen a similar problem was when i was using an old CRT monitor. It would sometimes give the same type of message like it wasn't plugged in but 9 times out of 10 the message would just go away and the monitor would turn on normally. I dont know how that helps you but I would definitely say it's a connection related problem like people have already been saying.
