i am currently using the onboard graphics, well i guess not exactly "using" since the pc doesn't turn on lol

OK, then what it seems to be the issue is the onboard is failing.
Since you have the PCI Express slot you may consider investing in a newer card and trying that.
You could try a cheaper card to make sure. If you have a card laying around try it.
Let me know what you think.

you might be right, because i had the new card which required a 300 wat psu and i think that sucked up the power, leaving nothing for the mouse or keyboard

looks like i'll just have to return the psu and get a new vid card thats compatible with mine

If you were to go to a PCI card then you won't need a PSU connector for it.
Graphics may not be as good but it would take care of PSU issue then.
Also a lower end PCI Express may work for you
