Correct, no clue what Gorman is talking about. If your PC isn't powering on, there is no way that it is because your monitor or video cable isn't working; that makes no sense.
As I said before, please go ahead and follow the steps I've given you, then get back to us.
Like I said, it's very unlikely the mobo is fried because obviously the entire mobo can't be fried or it wouldn't boot at all. You know how rare it is for a mobo to be fried in such a way that only the PCI won't work? I've never heard of it personally lol.
Depends on the problem, there are several things that can cause a computer not to boot when a monitor is plugged in. Shorted pins is probably the most common cause, but it's certainly not the only.
It's more common than you'd think, google something like "computer won't turn on with monitor plugged in" and you will probably find thousands of threads about it lol.

<Faint> the rules have been stated quite clearly 3 times now from high staff
It's usually either near the 24 pin connector or the CMOS battery - either way it's on the physics motherboard. You can check your mobo manual for details. Turn your computer on in a dark room and you should be able to spot it.
