Exclamation Laptop monitor becomes dysfunctional

This morning I accidently turned off a device (I think it was the graphics card), and it wouldn't let me turn it back on. When I tried to reboot, the moniter would display anything after the windews loading screen came on. I could tell that windows was booting up because I heard that weird sound it makes.

Btw, the graphics card does not have any drivers installed at the moment because I was in the process of updating.

Whe my dad gets home he will kill me when he sees this, so any help that can be given would be appreciated.

Please explain what you did to "turn off" the graphics card.
For now try booting the computer in safemode.
You can usually get into safemode by pressing F8 at boot up, keep pressing it.
It will give you several choices for booting into windows with safe mode and you want the one that says VGA support.
