Dang, put in a brand new Power Supply system still does the same a little fan or noise for a few seconds then stops and repeats. Should I try stripping out all video cards and doing a boot?

No Bios comes up Nothing Black Screen

Mine had these same issues. It wouldn't power, and it would just start to power on, but power off.

I took jumper J25 and set it so that the CMOS settings would reset. Upon doing this, and performing the typical power on/power off, moving J25 back in its original position, and then powering it on, it was working correctly (once I set the BIOS settings back).

Bizarre that it made the entire system not boot.
