Display adapter problem?? Help!

When i try to boot my pc it sounds a series of beeps (1 long, 2 short). I googled this to find it means a display adaptor problem?

All i did was literally wipe some dust off the heatsinks of the CPU and GFX card with a lint free cloth and now it refuses to boot.

I removed the gfx card correctly without forcing anything but is it likely that i have somehow inadvertedly damaged the PCI-E slot or the card? Or is there another possible cause?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated as i have work to be done for this week and am having to get an odd 5 minutes on the sisters laptop!

Help me OcUK! Cheers, Ranek.
