yup it was the video card. As I was popping out the old one to reseat it. (Don't ask me why I didn't take a look at it earlier, I just wasn't thinking.) I look it over and immediatly spot a nice sized brown spot and could visibly see where it burned out. It was a GeForce 4 card, which I replaced with a, to my knowledge, 57 dollar no name card I had lying around and it works even better. Who would of thunk it?
Any ideas as to what would have caused the card to burn out like that?
