How are you connecting to your monitor? DVI, VGA, or HDMI?
And assuming you have the latest Nividia Graphics Drivers installed, you should right click the desktop > NIVIDIA Control Panel > Setup Multiple Displays and see if your external monitor may be there but not selected. If not, then do what I do with my Sony VAIO when connecting to my external monitor (using HDMI) and keep plugging the HDMI cable out and plugging it in a couple of times till the computer detects the monitor.

Have you tried disconnecting the cable and reconnecting it? A couple of times may just do the trick; however, my experience was with HDMI not VGA.
