Well if things are blinking it sounds like your motherboard or your video card. (Most motherboards will refuse to boot without a videocard.) So check to see that all the cards are properly seated and everything is still properly connected. Listen for beep error codes. What they mean is usually listed in your motherboards manual. Test your video card in another machine. Lastly, declare it dead. :) Andrew S.
