Unable to start pc in normal mode, monitor cuts out ?

My computer has been stored for a few months and now it wont start up in normal mode anymore. I had removed a browser hijacker back in January (with the help of this site) before it was stored and it was operating fine. Now if I try to start in normal mode, Windows XP Pro tries to start and then the monitor signal is lost. I have tried a few monitors with the same result, but if I start up in safe mode it works fine but the resolution in safe mode sucks. The monitor I now have is quite new. Could I have a virus again ?
