Installed a new CPU and still no video. Tried another stick of Ram and wham! It worked. Apparently, Kingston isn't that great. Thanks for everyone's help.

Kingston make very good RAM, just in this case it would seem that you got unlucky with it. Infact, maybe not, it is a P3 system so it is years old, it has done well to go so far I would say

Probably that stick wasnt designed for that chipset..
or its a valueRAM..

It doesn't have to be cheap memory to not work. I had (and bare in mind, this was a few years ago) a dodgy stick in a 2x1GB Corsair XMS2 PC6400 set that I had, and that is really pretty solid memory. They replaced it because it was still under lifetime warranty and the new lot worked, it is just one of those things
