Now the question is did we have a graphics card in the Pci-e card slot to start off with.
Or did we use the on board video ports of the tower case on the back ?

Has it given you a slight clue as to why you just have a flashing cursor in the top left of your screen.
Yes that`s right, because when you press the key to go to the bios screen it is in fact displayed through the video ports on the back of the tower.

Where as you connected the video lead from the monitor to the 760 card.

You see the on board is the default primary output so the bios screen is displayed there.
Swap the cable to on board.
Go into the bios.
In the Graphics section set Pci-e to be the first interface selected.
If you have the option to turn on board graphics...

If you have the option to turn on board graphics off in the bios do so.

Now save the settings before exiting the bios.
Swap the cable back to the 760 card outputs.
Next time you press delete the bios is displayed.
