| 725952 | 2008-12-05 00:29:00 | Hi Was trying to recover a disc that had fallen behind the computer when I accidentally knocked the power plug and the computer shut down. Turning it back on I get 2 really quick beeps then 8 normal beeps. The computer sounds like it is on ok but nothing displays. I googled the motherboard (msi kt6) and suspect video card might not be seated correctly. As the cause of this problem was power related I am not really sure whether that diagnosis is correct. Is it possible that the power cut caused the video card to die? |

| 725955 | 2008-12-05 00:48:00 | Thanks, Embarrassingly I have knocked that power plug out a couple of times and computer came back fine after that. This time not so lucky. Looks like I will have to go in.......or buy a new computer, it is 3 years old after all. |
