Unfortunately I don't have an external monitor here at school to use. I think it's a screen issue, I checked the cables again and they were all seated fine and clean. It's just weird because it was working fine, then all the sudden the next time I booted it up it wasn't, so I swapped out the motherboards and it still wasn't. You can see bluish tints to everything even during BIOS bootup (Dell Logo and Text are blue-er than they should be aka Light Blue Text instead of White Text).
I hope it's not the screen as I just have gotten all the parts in for the computer to get it in working shape and would hate to dish out more money for a new screen, although I suppose I could try to find one on eBay that's broken (minus the screen) and swap out the screens. Maybe a short or something in the Flex Ribbons?
And the System doesn't have an OS yet, still waiting on the HDD Caddy, but from running a bootdisk had the same issues which leads me to think the issue is physical and not software.
