My screen suddenly went black an hour ago.
I was pushing the computer a little bit, trying to fix it's cover, since it's sort of out of place, and my screen just went out, to my screensaver. But since I don't have a screensaver, it just went black.
The computer kept going for 10 seconds, and then it just made a weird "DUUUUUUUUUT" sound until I shut it down.
Now I'm trying to figure out what to do. Help please?

Thanks,
Ess.

your motherboard or video card might have died

does it turn back on?

What do you mean turn back on?
If you're asking if I can start the computer again, then yes I can.
The screen just stays in screensaver mode.

Probably damaged your video card. Do you get any beeps when you reboot your computer?

o_o;

Check all the connections to the wall, to the PC, to the monitor, etc.

Yeah, I get a beep here and there.
What to do?

Would you mind giving us the exact beep code?

Most likely your GPU died, which usually is one long and two short beeps.

Okay, I fixed it (:
Looks like the video card was pushed around a little bit, when I accidently pushed my computer up against the wall.
It helped by simply pushing down the video card.
