Pressing the cuda button may help though it sounds like a video card
problem so try another - I believe you can reset the pram and the nvram by
holding down the usual keys - command/option/p/r - immediately following the
chime (for the nvram) and let it chime once or twice with keys held down -
if all else fails disconnect everything from the mobo - ram, video etc
everything which will disconnect including the battery but not the processor
- and leave overnight then load everything back and try again...
