I turned my computer on and no video. I had tried to add more memory but I didnt get right one so i replaced old one. I thought it would all return to normal but nope. There is no video. First thing i did was tried the Ti4200 on my old dell and it works fine, so than I tried video card from the dell but still no video. Asked some folks they told me reset bios,onboard video, make sure ram is snapped in, and wires are all connected but no video. I mean all three keyboard lights flash green, power button is green, MOFO light is green, light on PSU is green, fans all work, what am I missing guys?

What do you see in the Device Manager... any red, gray, or yellow flags?

Start->Control Panel->System->Hardware->Device Manager

If no flags, i would remove the install, reboot, and reinstall.

Nothing even in Safe Mode?
Any chance you have damaged the socket during install?
or is the plug out of alignment for the socket?

Update

So I rechecked all the wires and sockets and than did couple of boots. I noticed that once the keyboard lights flash the lights will not turn on again and my optical mouse will not come one either. My friend suggested its the video card slot and I only have one. You guys think its the MOBO? Ray, no video the monitor power light is green than once I turn the computer on it goes amber.

thanks in advance

Try going into Safe Mode ,, press F8 @ boot. and choose safe mode. If it works and goes through, then you need to uninstall it ,, then reinstall it ,,,,
