It boots up, but I'm not getting any video. The gpu is a 38xx or 37xx radeon. This was working just fine earlier and I haven't disconnected anything. The weird thing is though that I did get video earlier just now, I got the boot screen and a "boot mngr missing" error and then when I turned it off and rebooted now get nothing.
Either your drivers got corrupted/wiped or the CMOS battery ran down and the BIOS setting for video was set to a default which is incompatible to your actual card.

You make no sense. His default card settings is incompatible with his card?

In the CMOS bios, there several video modes. There is also a default video mode, so when your CMOS coin battery runs out, the BIOS resets back to the default, which may be incompatible with the video mode required.

ho does one reset ram chips by pressing f2 and going to bios at boot? also shouldnt the cmos or sny other battery rset at default on its own?
You have to take a magnet at it but remove the RAM first otherwise you will damage the other components. This will reset it and cause your computer to automatically reinstall the driver.
