Sounds like graphics card is either loose or faulty mrbloby. First thing I would try is to reseat the graphics card, are you able to do this? Also, you metioned safe mode, which suggested you may initially be able to see something on the screen when you first switch the PC on, or is it completely blank?

Aye mrbloby, your going to need to open up the PC, and make sure the card if properly seated, and hasn't come loose from it's slot (assuming you have a card), there will only be one screw holding it in place.
