is it dvi or vga (d-sub) connection? Try plugging out the monitor and turn off the pc, reconnect the monitor, power it on and boot the PC

Its a VGA connnection, the computer will boot up in VGA mode but when I try to put 16bit or 32 bit colour on through the display settings the screen just goes into stand by.

Check that the screen resolution is set to one that the monitor can display. Set it to as low as it can go first and then increase it.
