Well now it won't turn back on and I've been getting loud high pitched beeps coming from my speakers indicating a a problem, it's a long beep followed by 3 shorts ones which apparently means a video or gpu problem. I've taken my video card and put it back in but still nothing I've checked the power supply it's good. I have a GeForce 9500 GT which is older yes. Any advice would be appreciated , should I just get a new card or what shoulds I do? Thanks

Modern mobos also have a small bios LCD on them, and may show a letter and number, for example C3. If you have one of these report back the letter and number, your bios and mobo manufacturer. Have you also tried putting the graphics card in another slot?

I mean do you even see the bios load? It could be failing at the POST (Power On Self Test).

If you get graphics, then you are right. No need to put the drivers on for the borrowed card.

You should always keep a cheap video card laying around for troubleshooting. They really do come in handy. Drop me a PM if you're interested in a brand new X1300 PCIE. I keep a few laying around that I pulled from Dell's at work. It's a great card for troubleshooting because it doesn't require a separate power connector at all. $13 shipped if you're interested.
