My computer has a late beep then it boots and i can hear my windows
start up sound but my monitor stays on Stand-By. Im using an ATI
graphics card PCI-E. I connected my monitor to the motherboard and it
starts with no problems, dont understand what the problem is ;(, I got
my PC checked an I was told that it could be the MB slot for the
graphics card but i just wanted to make sure before i start buying
parts.

I'd more suspect the video-card itself; but if you went to a reputable
shop, then I'd take their word on it that it's the MB slot.

The cost of replacing each is about the same.

The method-of-testing is to try a replacement.

That's where having another *working* computer nearby comes in handy.

Most shops who would test your PC have such.
(They cannot get by without them.)

That's why I'd trust their diagnosis.

With the power disconnected,remove and reseat the video card. Make sure
it is fully inserted! If yo connect to the onboard grapgics, start windows
and open Device Manager and see if it shows two video adapters? If it does,
go into BIOS and either disable onboard , or set PCI-e as first display.
