Big problem with moniter or video card

[crazyvato]

I was blowing dust and stuff out of my computer last night and i Pulled out the video card and pulled dust out of the fan and put it back in. Anyways now when i hook the computer back up the moniter cant detect any input from my video card but sometimes after like 10 seconds it will goto a black screen and come back saying it cant detect input.My moniter is an old phillips i got almost 6 years ago and it's starting to die (Screen will go black and i slap it to get it back lol) My vc is a geforce 4800. Any ideas to what i f'ed up or maybe there is a way I can fix this.

Oh yeah and i was on carpet but i was touching the metal of my case a lot last night so i dunno I hope i dont have to buy a new video card.

First check to see if the card is seated correctly, etc

Do you have anothe rmointor or video card to test it with?

actually i figured it out. Last night when i pulled the cpu fan up to blow dust out i just clamped it back down because the plastic deals that attach it to the mobo pissed me off by time.However my cpu had melted to the bottom of the heatsink so the cpu wasnt put back in correctly when i clamped the fan and heatsink back down im ultra lucky i didnt break any pins off.
