A 100mhz 486? the computer that the video card does work on, is it a similar vintage?

the 486 may not be compatible with the video card. The beep codes, what do they do with the card removed?

post back

I put it into another case. Ever since it hasn't worked. The reason why I put it in another case is because my nephew was here. He was using the front part as a kicking side, He was only 2 at the time. Then I came in telling him not to do it anymore. then CRACK!!!, off all 4 screw holders. So,
I tried removing the video card, same thing. I am going to try reseting the BIOS. If I can find the jumper and a manual

remove everything and only leave the ram and video card and see if your computer will boot up

You mean the motherboard video card etc? does the MB POST? check to make sure nothing is shorted out on the bottom of the MB.
