I just installed a new vga fan and some more memory modules on my pc, but when i went to start it up all it did was do a continuous short beep and the screen was a bunch of different colors. I removed the the memory to see if that was the problem and reseated the video card, but to no avail. I also jumped the cmos and pulled the power and the battery for the mb, but that didnt help anything niether. Please help me out here since im not very computer literate when it comes to things like this!

What kind of motherboard is this? Also, what kind of video card is it?

You could check this site out to determine what the problem is, then we can move on from there.
