Have you tried taking out the modem/sound cards and leaving only video? If it is a PCI video card, install it on the top slot.
No Video
I have a 200 mhz Gateway which ran win95. I reformated the harddrive due to problems. Was finally successful and reinstalled windows. Was attempting to get modem working and lost video. I was messing with the video card, modem card and sound card. Can't get the monitor to show anything. I tried monitor on another machine - it works fine. I tried another video card that I know works and that didn't help. I suspect that I moved the video card to a different slot but can not trace it back.
I was trying to get the computer to recognize the modem on com1 but there was no com1. It placed it on com3 which I am afraid was where the video was.
I am confused and one of those people that a little knowledge will get me in trouble and it has.
Any help is appreciated.
If possible can I start over, reformat everything and reinstall?

Did you also try unplugging everything else? Leave only the power to the motherboard, cpu fan power, and video card and try and boot.
