The other day my computer kept restarting so i hit it. ^^; It started beeping and then shut down, when i turned it back on the vodeo did not show up on my monitor and when i tried another one the picture was very wavy and i could see anything. The current graphics card I'm using is worthless and i cant play anything with it. Does anyone know what i did?
PS: I tried buying a new graphics card but dew to my old mother board it didnt fit in any of the ports.

1 long, 2 short beeps usually mean bad video card or not properly seated (maybe loosened by impact).
1 long, 3 short beeps usually mean no video card or bad video ram
High frequency beeps while running means processor is overheating.
Since your computer shutdown after the beeps, it could be a videocard problem. Inspect the graphics card. Any burn marks on the pins? Any bloated or leaking capacitor (cylindrical)? Can you move the fan blades? If the card physically looks OK, try reseating it back to its port. It you are lucky, it might just have been a loose connection. If it is just black screen and beeps again, the card could be dead. This can be confirmed by plugging it in another PC.

have you ever tried switching off, pulling the cardboard out, switching the visual exhibit unit connection to the motherboard socket and rebooting? it is going to hit upon the substitute and turn to the onboard photos driving force itself. in case you seem on top of issues Panel>device supervisor>exhibit adapters, which exhibit adapter is it displaying now?
