I formatted my computer the other day and since formatting my video card stopped working, I tried a multitude of drivers and uninstalling it form device manager and multiple reinstalls. Last night switched the bios to PEG since my card showed up in it and now when Booting it has a white screen followed by 8 beeps.
Got it down to 5 beeps after removing CMOS and then did the hold FN trick after cycling power to get it to boot.
Switched it to sg and it would boot but then switched it back and now I'm at the same problem.

Dissembled it and cleaned it all out.

Since doing so now it boots with a white screen then black then red.
thought maybe I missed a cable since the color change but figured I'd get an expert opinion.
