Been there. Usually means something is inserted wrongly and 
the PC is refusing to boot. Yank everything other then 
the video card and see if the BIOS boots up. You should 
then get a moan about disk controllers. Start putting the 
other cards in one by one, I/O card first, and find out 
what is making it go bump. If you suspect the riser card 
then move the I/O from the motherboard to the riser ( only 
after you have it booting ) and see what happens.
