The CD drives spin for 10 seconds as if its looking for a CD, then probably 20 seconds after I hit the power button does the monitor turn on (PCI Card only).

I had the original BIOS, and just went to the 4xx one from the site and still the same issue.

Weird thing is my OC is still the same??!! What the hell is going on? I have NEVER had this kind of issue before. I dont know if my GPU is dead, even though it wasnt OCed, or if the board is having issues.
did you try a clear cmos ( important with a bios flash ! )
with pci card it boots up but it's long ( maybe it's normal with a pci videocard ... but it's strange )
If your oc is still the same the board seems to work

The best way to be sure is to try your ATI on another ring if you can ...
