Since you've checked your connections, maybe your PCI card isnt properly seated and/or needs a bit of a clean up on the pins. A white school eraser will do the job. Hope this helps

Try resetting the BIOS to default.

When you were switching between integrated and PCIe, were you disbaling/enabling integrated graphics in BIOS?

If you've added a new sound card and DVD drive, they could have pushed your system's power requirements beyond the PSU's limits.

Thanks for the replies well neither of those suggestions worked i tryed ressetting the bios and cleaned the pins on my graphics card the only thing i can think of is to change back to integrated graphics but i am not sure how to do that without the help of a monitor ive done it before haha but cant seem to remember?? O and yes koala i did i changed my primary adapter to pcix so i couldnt see anything through my integrated graphics unless i changed through bios which i cant see lmao so all i need is a solution to change back to integrated without the help of anything on the screen haha
