Ok I need help guys.

Quick run down: My computer started having really bad artifacts so I pulled my video card out and had it tested at a local computer shop and they said it was bad. I RMA'd it and they sent me a 8800gt (had a 7950gt) I put it in and the started getting one long beep and 2 short beeps.

I pulled that video card out and took it to the computer shop and they said it was fine, worked fine in there computer.

So i replaced my PSU to "corsair TX650w" had a (Antec 400) now I get the boot screen with no beeps but it runs the Memory test and reboots, just does that over and over. I tried ESC to skip memory test, reboots and starts it again. I tried letting the memory test run and it reboots and starts again. I tried DEL to enter bios and it reboots and starts again.

I pulled all memory and tired each one, one at a time and get the same thing. Tired 4 different sticks. All sticks work fine in the wifes computer. Also I cleared the CMOS.

I need some help here guys so any help would be great. Here is what I have right now in the computer:

Asus A8N5X
evga card 8800GT
2 HDD's not raid, one is just for storage
one dvd drive
AMD X2 +3800
Corsair memory 2gbs
(pulled from the wifes computer OCZ memory to try)
corsair TX650w PS
BIOS i have is 1003


Thanks for any help
 
I can remember two instances at work where we had a computer with PCI Express slots that would not under any circumstances boot properly with an 8800GT in them. The card tested fine. We ended up finding out that the PCI express slot itself was dying in one, and the other just had some fundamental incompatibility with the 8800GT--ATI cards worked just fine.
 
Thats not good to hear being that I can't find anyone that still sales a mobo with a 939 socket. So i would have to buy new cpu, mobo and memory.

Any other ideas on what it might be?
