turning on the monitor first makes no difference. These days monitors plug directly into the mains, and dont get power from the psu.... unless you've got an ancient pc.
as you say, the pc is getting no power, I guarantee it's the psu. decent ones can be picked up from around 60 to 80 quid, such as Enermax, Tagan or Antec.
imo dont go for bottom end psu's, such as Qtec or generic unbranded ones, as it's the main component in a Pc and needs to be reliable.
