Blank screen - noob needs support

Hi, I just finished my MM project and it works fine for 5 days. This morning I got a blank screen with following notification:

Starting MagicMirror: v2.1.3
Loading config ...
Loading module helpers ...
No helper found for module: alert.
Initializing new module helper ...

Whoops! There was an uncaught exception...

  code: 'EADDRINUSE',
  errno: 'EADDRINUSE',
  syscall: 'listen',
  address: '127.0.0.1',
  port: 8080 }

Any ideas?
Thx and Regards, Chris

Problem solved - I installed an other SD Card with the backup of MM and everything is working fine again… but I do not know what happened before. So I will have a backup in the desk if something will appear in near future

@chris1971 something was already using port 8080, probably the previous instance of magic mirror was not shut down properly and still occupying this port, or a different programm was using it

I have powered the PI and monitor via a wlan socket which can be switched on/off - could this cause the problem?
