It's EXTREMELY likely that your upgrade caused your video output to
switch to a signal that's out-of-band for your LCD monitor.  If you
still have a CRT monitor around, plug it in in place of your LCD and
switch the resolution and vertical scan rate to one that's compatible
with your current monitor.
