Ya i used spacers but i dont know about the bios update. How would a person go about up dating the bios if the monator does not show a thing not post or bios.

i think it is your video card. try reseating the video card and make sure it is actually seated all the way down in the slot. sometimes when a video card looks like its seated it may not be. if you can still see the vertical lines or contacts at the bottom of the card it might not be all the way down.

Try taking the board out of the tower and laying down on a NON-CONDUCTIVE work surface. Plug in one mem stick, CPU&fan, Video card and nothing else.
See what happens.
I read on another board about a guy that had one too many spacers on the chassis pan and shorted out the MB.
While you have the board loose, check that also.
Good luck to you.
