So The title says it all. I decided to mess with some of the hardware on my computer and unplug and plug back in things and somehow things got messed up. Here's what happened:
First I unplugged my ram stick (Just to look at it) and then I plugged it back in fully (Checked that). Then I started to mess with some of the cables leading to my hard drive and floppy. I close the case and boot my computer back and it starts to go beep beep beep! So I knew something wasn't plugged in right. So I open it back up and push against all the wires (To make sure they're tight. I fixed what I believe to be a hard drive issue (There was a cord unplugged). I boot my computer back and no beeping noise but, There are no graphics this time. I checked my monitor cable and it was in tight but there was no graphics. There was no system bios or anything on the monitor! I also checked that when my computer booted, my hard drive light came on and the cd and dvd drive light came on. My floppy light didn't however.

I have no clue what I did but if someone can give me some advice, I would appreciate it!
*Btw: The grahpics worked when the computer was beeping. I think when I tried to fix that I broke something else.

Somehow I hit a flimsy cord on my graphics card (The ran across my motherboard). The beeping was caused by my ram I found out. So all is well now!

That's good. I was thinking you might have fried some hardware.. but I wasn't going to say it until somebody else posted a different idea. =P
