No luck.
I unplugged all cards and booted up with just the on board vga
I used 1 card in the PCIe 16x port with a riser and with the actual card in the port.
Still nothing on the boot up.
I'm not sure by that statement if it did boot with just the integrated graphics or if it has not booted with either integrated or dedicated graphics? In either case, try to clear the CMOS (you can remove the battery for 30 seconds if that's easiest) and double check all your cables as well.
I also suspect the bios setting if it is set to integrated GPU or PCI-e GPU, you better ensure it is well configure.
