I installed that pci video card last night and it didn't seem to help. I contacted ncix again and followed all of there instruction listed below and still nothing. If anyone has any other thoughts on what i could possibly do please say something.

This is a canned response I give out but generally one of these suggestions usually work for most issues......
I'd suggest the following to troubleshoot your system:
1) Plug the system directly into a different power outlet. We want to eliminate the power bar,if any, or the power outlet is bad.(done)
** Make sure to have a PC speaker plugged into the front panel header on the motherboard.(done)
2) Remove the RAM from the motherboard and see if the computer reports back with an error beep. If it does, try booting the system with only one stick of RAM at a time. One stick of the pair may be bad. (Removed and swapped both sticks of Ram and had no error beeps)
3) Completely remove and reseat the any video card from the PCI-E slot, making sure that the power connector is properley seated in the card.
4) Unplug the hard drive and optical drives and see if the system posts consistently. It may be a bad drive not allowing the system to post. If available, try another hard drive to test install an OS (I haven't seen anything on my screen, nothing but black or no signal message from various monitors)
5) Reseat all possible cables inside the computer again to make sure none may still be loose.
6) Clear the CMOS by the jumper on the motherboard. (took the battery out from (1-24hrs)
7) Try all the components outside the case to check to see if it may be shorting inside the case (working on cardboard atm)
