...ok, now it runs as usual...but still no screen, no beeping, and no
apparent computer activity 'behind' the darkened screen. usually i would
have to first input my password...so when i do this or anything else, i
still hear no activity or sounds. should i tear my girlfriends computer
apart and see if her vid card works? is it that simple? she has an old
machine. any new ideas?

...ok, today when i plugged it in i heard for the first time some
sounds...beeps actually. they were very low in volume...not the normal loud
beeps heard when the machine is booting up as usual. they were 3 long beeps
lasting about 1.5 seconds each with an interval of about 1/3 of a second.
each three beep set was then followed by approx. 11 seconds of silence and
then the beeps would repeat...this pattern continued until i shut it
off(unplugged it). is this some sort of code for something?

It depends on who the manufacturer of your BIOS is. This informations used
to be the first thing that appeared on your screen after starting the
computer. Most BIOSes out there are made by Award these days.
Here is a couple of pages with BIOS beep codes. If you remember who made
your BIOS, you can try to match it up.
