Black Screen , Need help

after some serious updating gone wrong, i rebooted the machine and now im getting a black screen. The thing wont even show the booting process, nothing, nothing at all on the screen.

Downloaded and burnt a 11.2 DVD but still, computer isnt responding, just a black screen.

Doing ctrl+alt+F1 wont do anything either

Need some serious help on this one.

Hi,

Try entering 3 at grub, this should get you to the command line.

I would if i could see GRUB. When starting the computer, screen will just stay idle, with a tickleing light.

Any ideas?
Im out until tomorrow morning (10 more hours)

Im thinking about booting throw another HDD i got laying around, which has SUSE installed into it. That way i can hopefully backup my files?

Update, it was just my video card came loose from the PCIe slot

LOL that will do it :open_mouth:
