Ok so I was fiddling with my machine today as I often do. Anyways I was moving my hard drive around and bumped my mobo with it. What happened when I booted the machine back up was that the screen just went wacky with flashing lines of squares and such. At first I was like must have messed the hard drive up. But later I decided it wasnt the hard drive since I would be able to get into the bios still which I can't. So Im trying to narrow down the problem here im guessing its either motherboard or the processor anyone have a clue? Im really stumped on this one.

Try re-seating all your cards and RAM firmly in their slots. If your video card takes an external power cable, make sure that's plugged in. If the problem persists, maybe you knocked some surface-mounted bits off the surface of the motherboard. :(
