If it turns out to be the Mobo Mate, I have a Brand new asus a8n32 sli deluxe sitting here doing nothing. Still boxed and never taken out of the bag which i`m selling.

All the times the computer and the gpu fires up with all fans yet the monitor gets no visual, the gpu fan wires alive and it sounds like the HD is booting up but I get nothing from the graphics card to the monitor.

Yeah, but did you try it without the graphics card in there? If you try that & the mobo & PSU are ok, it should beep at you complaining there's no graphics card. If it doesn't, then chances are it's not the graphics card. Having said that I suppose it's possible that a motherboard might not beep in the absense of a card, but they always have in my experience. It's a shame you don't have another PCI-E card to try in there.

But nothing when it's in its slot? If that's the case then I'd say your card's toast.

Re: Dead 7900GT need replacement advice
Yup nothing just silent with the card in I have to admit was happy to hear some beeps, checked the wise google and it claims the gpu is dead.
Sooooo coming soon a Top Gear styled 7900gt tied to a firework on youtube 
So whats good for about two hundred quid tops? Would prefer to spend about hundred and fifty as money is tight right now but it has to be a minor improvment on Bf2142 for me...

Keep the HSF from it though as a spare [assuming it was still running at a decent speed & wasn't the reason why it fried in the 1st place].
