Update: Turns out it was the ram, after screwing around with the graphics card I reseated the ram and all of a sudden it's working. I'm not sure how it got loose as I checked them all immediately after the graphics card and they (4 sticks) were all seated correctly.
Thanks to those of you who took the time to help me with my problem.
I have two pc's. One older and one newer. The newer one has been having problems so I switched the graphics card out to see if it would fix my problem--it didn't. So I put my old graphics card back into my old pc and now one of 3 things will happen if I turn it on:
The screen is blank, making no connection, sometimes the light on the monitor will turn green then back to orange. After so many tries this is the only thing that happens now.
I get stuck on the splash screen of my motherboard but I have no options to boot into safe mode or go into bios.
Once the screen came on and there was a blinking _ at the top left.
I've checked all of the cords, reseated the graphics card, everything is powered up and running as far as I can tell. What could I have possibly screwed up by taking the card out?
