as far as your memory is concerned, do you have more than one stick? try it with only one, if it still doesn't work, remove it and try it with the other stick.
reset as in...I reset my computer by turning it off and back on. I don't understand why different number of sticks would make a difference? Reason i'm asking is because i have 4 sticks of ram totalling to 4 gbs.

hmm from my experience of having the computer for so long. it sounds perfectly normal to me. everything seems to be running just fine. that's why i immediately felt it was a display-related issue

Otherwise try another video card? Can buy a crappy one for cheap, if you're in Richmond I might have a spare one to give you. Nothing special. But should work.
Yeah, i'll try putting in another video card if I can find one. I just don't understand why plugging the monitor directly into the VGA port on the mobo (without the gfx card) doesn't work? it blows my mind
