Clear CMOS again and see what other error you got?
In case CMOS doesn't work, just drain all your capacitors with the method I mentioned above. Let the computer shut off, flip the switch and then hold the power button for 30s.

It's getting something. The monitor doesn't say no signal like it did before but it's black. Like I said I have a new error code and it appears to go through more codes on the motherboard aka it's taking longer to get an error code.
Currently I'm at work and won't be able to check anything out till I get off at 3 PM eastern U.S.
PS: Thanks again and good morning!!!

I just got home from work and tried that and it didn't work.

It goes from no signal to when I turn on the PC to black screen.

Are you on hdmi or vga right now? Normally when you haven't install any drivers for graphics card yet, you need to use vga first.

It doesn't really matter, I'd just run the setup and manually make sure your DRAM voltage and speed is set to what it should be.

Then set your boot priority to your DVD (or Blu-Ray) Drive 1st, put your Windows disk in it, reboot, install Windows, set your boot priority to your HDD (or SSD if you have one) first after Windows reboot and enjoy

I'm glad that it worked out for now. Good luck with setting things up!
I ran into a similar situation when setting up my HTPC. It made me scratch my head for awhile then I finally figured that out so I thought you might experience the same thing and you did haha!

And that's one of the reasons that explains why we're (we=this awesome community!) here to help
So that minor issues that aren't actually defective parts can be fixed without you wasting your time and money to return them when it's not necessary. Try doing that with an HP or DELL that doesn't work out of the box

I'm on it right now and running great!
Thank you again everyone.
I plain on hanging around some and learning some more. Hopefully one day I will be able to help some people out like you guys did for me.
