If you look at this article:

Looks like your problem comes from the keyboard card

Since you wrote that your computer also beeped 8 times, if I were you,

I:

1. Try to connect to an external monitor to see if it's not a video card issue as it could also be. Some monitor go into power saving when they don't get a good signal.

2. Check you cabling for both monitor and keyboard.

3. Last resort consult a technician.

Good luck
