Hey tonight I came home and booted up my G3, did nothing on it and so i shut it back down, after doign some stuff I figured I need to boot it back up but now when I try to boot it all the leds work inside the case but nothing really happens, my monitor gets a signal for a minute and then goes to blank as if it were sleeping, the mouse lights up (usb), the harddrive spins, but the thing wont even boot into a installer while holding down C... Any ideas? I thought maybe bad video card but I tried to wait til I knew if it was booting it would be done and then try to power it down by keyboard but nothing...
