I'm not sure that this is a problem with my GPU, but it seems the most likely culprit.
Basically, when I turn on my computer there is nothing on my screen, and this persists after start up should have finished. In fact, the monitors eventually go into a power saving mode where their power lights start slowly blinking, implying they aren't getting any kind of signal whatsoever. It's a dual monitor setup that was working just fine 12 hours ago, so it seems unlikely the problem is with the monitors. During start up, the computer makes some uncomfortable noises, such as clicking (I can't tell if it's consistent with hard drive failure or a fan somewhere), and a series of four beeps (first one is different, then 3 more beeps that are either identical, ascending, or descending, which one I can't remember). After a few minutes the noises go away, and the computer sounds perfectly fine, but the screen remains blank.
Could anyone at least narrow down the problem for me?
Graphics card was an NVIDIA GeForce GT500 series, I believe 560ish.
