I have tried everything I knew to try troubleshooting the issue.
I took out everything besides the essentials (taking out a video card, tv tuner card, etc). I took out my ram and tried each one by one. I hooked up the cable to the onboard video output. I tested the monitor cable with another computer. I checked out how to reset the cmos (I took out the battery and reinstalled it later). I took out the processor and put it back in along with most other connections I found.
When I boot the computer the fans and case lights turn on, which leads me to think that there isnt a power supply issue. However the dvd drive doesn't seem to have power (the lights dont turn on and it wont eject).
Any suggestions?? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Incase this helps..
