If didn't work, you have the answer -> new vídeo card 99% sure.
Try clearing CMOS like Virtualbody1234 said if doesn't work then it's the vídeo card.

I tried to clear the Cmos today, didn't work. So I'm just going to buy a video card off newegg. I wanted to sell the computer not spend more money lol but ohwell.

Don't you have some spare parts from another PC to test before buying parts?

I would try another power supply first.

Also, if you try starting the PC without a video card installed, it should beep a code for no GPU.

I had the exact same problem a few months back. Turned out my processor f'ed up, so we got a new one (well, technically it's worse than the old one....long story) and it worked fine after. Have you tried swapping CPUs?

Get a working second-hand PCI video card (no, not PCI-E; ye olde PCI dinosaur with 1 to 8 MB of memory will do).
Take out your AGP card, put in the PCI card and see if the machine starts up.
That's what I did when I had problems with mine.

Well this Saturday I am leaving with the family to Universal Studios in Orlando so I won't be able to buy new parts untill I get back which will take about a week. Also after rewiring the whole entire thing. I'm pretty sure I did it right. The front of the case LED had a Red light on with the Green LED flashing, but after a minute the red light would turn off and the green one would keep flashing. Does this mean anything?

Was that before or after these problems started? If before, I suggest that maybe you didn't get it quite right.

They almost certainly mean something, but without knowing what they are connected to it is difficult to say what. The red light is probably the HDD activity light, if so it seems to be behaving correctly. However, I don't know why the green light should blink. Did it do that before?

If it doesn't beep, then it almost certainly isn't performing POST, which means the problem is probably not the graphics card but more likely the mobo.

Just buy some 32MB agp card of ebay they really cheap!!

Or the power supply.
