Possibly Boot Up Problem 1

A friend of mine has a computer that isn't displaying anything on screen when the power button is pressed. Fans run, and the lights get power but he has recently installed a video card and the computer refuses to display from this point. I tried removing the card then flashing the bios and the computer still refuses to display from the integrated video on the mainboard. But the computer isn't beeping either on start up, so is this a lack of POST or what? I'm a little clueless as to what component is causing this problem although as I can't detect any sign of anything damaged directly (like a shorted mainboard) I think it's a component problem. Thanks in advance for any help.
