PC Won't Boot, Possibly Bad SATA Cables?

Just got my new power cables and that was the not the problem. I do feel better now that I have cables that will actually stay connected to my components but would like the PC to actually boot up...

Any further theories? Bad video card perhaps? Ive gotta try to find me an extra one to see if mine is just junk...

Well it looks like my video card was junk because I put in a different one and it's now working fine and I haven't had any NO INPUT issues since.

I upgraded it to Windows 7 finally but I have discovered a new problem. The PC is now constantly freezing- It actually started before I upgraded to Win 7 so don't start blaming it on that. Once I got it working again I was going to test the video card's capabilities by playing a game in Steam and once I opened steam I clicked on servers and once it started listing servers the PC just froze and would not unfreeze at all. I had to do a hard shut down and turn it back on.

I tried it again with steam just thinking it was a fluke but it did the same exact thing.

I thought maybe it was steam related but I just logged onto Win 7 on it for the first time and it already froze twice- once while I was in control panel and another time when I wasn't doing anything except moving the cursor.

WTF would cause freezes like this? Bad memory?
 
If the computer is freezing and then after a bit or so letting you do something, then I would download the hard drive makers disk diagnostic utility and run a scan on it.
