Try to get into the bios, if you see no image try to plug the display on both outputs (not at the same time of course :p ) and see if you can get any image.
Thank Mauro, I rebooted again and I can get to the bios/grub display just fine now. Must have been a transient issue..
If it works then for some reason the display priority may have changed in the bios, and I guess you can correct it there. No other ideas here except that the hardware might have disliked that outage, you really should look into getting the system to power off properly when the UPS in low on battery.
NUT shuts the box down when the UPS hits 15% remaining (CyberPower CP1000AVRLCD ... I really like these UPS's). The box shut down just fine, I think the boot limit was reached which caused fsck to run. I have no explanation for the missing 8800gt after the power outage. I guess there was some stray voltage that went somewhere when it happened. Looks like it is all back to normal now. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
