Hello i wanted to ask what could the problem be anyone know?? i turned my pc off, after a few mins i on it again but just shows a blank screen on monitor. After 1 minute it shows Check Signal Cable everything is plugged perfectly.
 
If you have a graphics card, have you reseated it?
Can you try another lead or plug the monitor and lead into another computer.
 
I think my graphics card has died how do i find out which graphic card i need to buy?? or Could it be the dust in the computer causing it?
 
You need to determine whether you have AGP (older) or PCI-E (newer) slot on your motherboard. You can tell just by looking at it. Search on google images, AGP and PCI-E, then look on your motherboard and determine which one you have.

I would clean any dust anyway, dust can brake all the electrical circuits on the motherboard as well as it can cause your computer to ovearheat.

Once you know which slot you have check your power supply for wattage and connections. Newer cards require 6 pin power connector. For any newer card I'd advise at least 450W - 500W PSU. Also, check if you have room to fit the graphics card inside your case.
 
Dust could be making your computer ovearheat or shorting some circuits on the motherboard, making it impossible to start.
