like i said, it should make several beeps upon booting up, with or without video. listen to the sequence of these beeps (ie. long or short beeps) because it will identify the problem. kinda like checking the ECU for codes.. then google it and you'll find out what the problem is. most of the time it's a problem with your RAM (ie. incorrect RAM for your mobo) or videocard.
