I'm afraid I will wear out my welcome here:) Having figured out my
power supply issue (post below) here is what happened.
I powered the pc up and I got the beep code that indicates no VGA . My
video card is a 8800 gts and it's in the uppermost blue slot. I
checked the connections and now it is emitting a shrill whistling
sound. Obviously something is wrong but I thought I'd run it by you
guys to see what you make of it?
Should I try the black slot?

Is it the video card that's emitting the sound?
Does it sound like a mechanical whistling sound, or electronic?
Do you have a cheap PCI, or PCIe video card you can plug in for now, or
borrow, just to make sure the system will boot up properly? (you do have
the extra power connector attached to the video card [if it requires
one]).
In the BIOS, Advanced tab, Northbridge Configuration, Initiate Graphics
Adapter, do you have it set for PEG/PCI?
This is where the selection is on my P5B-Plus MB BIOS, but I'm sure it's
similar to yours, at least in this respect. If it's not there, it's
probably hiding in another location in the BIOS.
