None of that worked :(
 

1. Is the power indicator light on the monitor lit up?
2. Is the monitor connected by HDMI or VGA?
3. Have you double checked the video card is seated properly in the x16 slot?
4. Have you tried booting with the video card in the 2nd x16 slot?

I'm out of ideas. Have you looked over Tom's checklist of troubleshooting ideas for "No POST", "system won't boot", and "no video output"?
