ASUS GeForce N6600 - monitor wont respond on start up

need help
It stopped responding when I made my computer sleep for awhile and then it wouldn't come back on so I had to switch to my computer monitor jack instead of the GeForce. Now I don't really know much about the whole computer thing and how it all works so I could really use a lot of details and step by step.
