Nothing during the BIOS startup indicates something wrong with the Video. Check the Monitor cables. If the Video were out, the motherboard would beep.
You might have to test the Monitor and cables on another system.

I can try pressing F8, but I don't think it will work. I don't get the BIOS.
screen -- I don't get any screen at all. It's completely blank right from the
moment I press the power button, and the computer never starts the boot
cycle. The fans turn on, the lights turn on (including the hard drive light
being constantly on and not blinking) but the monitor doesn't display
anything and the computer doesn't start to sound like it's working harder
like it normally does when starting.

Perhaps your keyboard is either broken, or not plugged in securely.
If not, I would try holding in the power button till it restarts or shuts
down. Press F8 during the startup black screen, just after the BIOS screen,
to enter Safe Mode. Resetting the Power Options there may help.
