Ok I've tried what i know.
I have a feeling its the graphics card but not sure yet untill I test with another graphics card.
But what happening is that I go to turn my computer on and nothing comes up on my screen. The computer runs everythink i see is on CPU heatsink is running, the graphics card fan, the fans on my computer, DVD-Drive, etc..
But nothing shows on the screen.
I've tried both screens with my mums laptop and they both work so nothing wrong with that.
Not sure if there is something wrong with the CPU.

How many times your computer beeps? Just try to remove BIOS battery and put back on after 3 minutes.

LOL, I had the same issue with my PC and I'm using similar MBO as you are.
I've reconnected all the cables in my PC and that helped.
You should try that for a starter.

I would agree. Disconnect all your cards and reconnect only your video card. If that doesn't work, move your video card to another PCIe slot (if available).
Also double check your RAM and power connectors.
