That's not good. :-/

You're machine is throwing a serious hardware hit. If it's currently down (I
assume you're posting from a different machine since you said you couldn't
not come up even in safe mode), then how you proceed depends on whether or
not the machine is under warranty or if you're comfortable with working with
hardware yourself. If it's under warranty, get it in for warranty repair. If
you're not comfortable with diving inside the guts of the machine, find some
one that won't charge you an arm and leg. It's possible you simply have a
loose cable, but the hardware's going to have to be checked regardless.
