Remove all cards but the video.  Short the two pins that reset the bios 
making sure you remove power COMPLETELY from the computer first (including 
the +5 VDC keep alive).  Disconnect the floppy.  You should have only one HD, 
RAM and one video card now.  Verify ALL headers and their positions on the 
mainboard.  Boot PC.  If you can get past the video BIOS screen make sure you 
set INT ON AGP in the BIOS.  If you cannot get this far then barrow a PCI or 
AGP video card and try again.  I am leaning towards the video card being the 
problem or the mainboard being set for a different processor.
