You need to go right back to basics and see what happens
with just the video card and hard drive. If it boots like that,
most likely some problem with useing the LS120 etc.

If it wont even boot with just a basic simple video card and hard drive,
its gotta be some basic config problem of the motherboard or its died.

You've just got to go thru it systematically from the minimum config.
