OK still a problem but major change. I found after connecting old system back up part of problem was unique to my monitor. It can lose the digital signal and needs some special steps to wake up or use of analog cable.

Well the new build was out of box with nothing connected so I plugged in power and tested again. With New EVGA SuperClocked 8800GT no POST, no Video Signal no beeps from case speaker. Bad News! I pulled out new and put in an old Radeon XT1300 Pro I was able to borrow. SUCCESS get single beep indicating successful POST and video signal showing system is looking for drive with O/S, it sees the two sticks of RAM too. I did not go into BIOS as now I want to see if I can wake up this EVGA card. I put the EVGA back in and nothing, remember there is nothing connected to MOBO except power and out of case. I check seat of EVGA card and feels solid as does the power connection. I am using the power connection for PCI-E provided by the new Corsair VX550W which should have plenty of power even with a lot of drives and other things connected. It appears now graphics card is the root of problems and may need to be returned.
