I'm reading you post on an LCD connected to the DVI port in kubuntu with
the nvidia driver loaded.

I'm thinking that's not your problem.

Perhaps your system is trying to use a setting that is outside of your
monitors capabillities?

Have a look at the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file and see if anything went wrong
during startup of X windows. Does your screen display anything at all, at
what point does it stop displaying a picture during the boot process?
