Okay now, I have 4 old computers and moniters, I have the moniters over at my buddys house and I used his moniter to try it also, I took the Video card out and put in a diffrent one from another computer, but still nothing. Please Help!
 
The AGP or other slot could be bad with loose solder or the board itself has let go there since you tried more then one card. What make and model board? If you took a AGP 1x/2x card and tried it on a 4x/8x model it won't work. Bad hardware or wrong type of card would be the two things to look at unless the bios is set to onboard not PCI/AGP.

What did you just say?
haha
 
You are saying that you are not seeing anything onscreen with any of the monitors there. You swapped video cards and still saw nothing. A little information about the hardwares will help here. You could have a bad system board, two bad video cards or the wrong card type, or monitors that are gone.
 
Simple Terms: The Graphics Card is either Too New or Too Old for the motherboard.

Or

Bad Graphics Card

Or

Bad MotherBoard.

Solution:

Try another computer?

I Would recommend getting into BIOS but you cant do that as your seeing nothing but Black on your screen am i correct?
 
If the board has onboard capability you could try plugging the monitor into the vga port on the board or try a PCI type card to see if the AGP slot is bad or PCI is set with the onboard enabled. Knowing the make and model board or prebuilt system would be the thing to know here for a look at the system specifications.
