I can't See Anything!

My computer was locking up, but I had to leave so I left it sit. I restarted it later with my driver disk for another computer. It started throwing up a bunch of errors, so I figured I shoudl just turn it off, take out the disk and turn it back on. When I did that, the monitor stays black. The green light blinks, but I don't see anything. If I unplug the monitor from the video card, the light goes to solid green and it says "No Signal". I tried a different video card and monitor and nothing, but the amber light.

This really isn't a problem. Most newer monitors do that when they are unplugged. Or, in the case that there's a problem with the connection while plugged into the video card.

I suspect the motherboard. PCChips boards are widely know for high DOA and failure rates. Try taking out a the RAM and booting. If you get beeps, the board should be ok. If not, you may have to buy a new one.

Why PSU do you have in there?

Without the RAM, it just starts like it usually does, no beeps.
