Did you have onboard video before? What is the video card? AGP8x, AGP4x, PCIe? If you had onboard video, you'll need to change the settings in the BIOS and disable the onboard video. You'll have to plug in at the onboard to access the BIOS.

Check to make sure the video card is fully seated, also remove your memory and reinstall it, you may have loosened it putting in the video card. Also, if you have a plug-in modem, take it out and try booting. One time I have seen a bad modem stop a computer from starting up. (Took me weeks to figure that one out)

I have nvidia geforce fx5500 1.08.03 but my pc recognises it as xabre 16mb. When my pc boots it writes nvidia geforce fx5500 1.08.03. I tryed all kinds of drivers from all kinds of sites,even nvidia's...

Chances are that you have bought a fake FX5500. Google it.
If your pc shows xabre 16mb then that is more than likely what you have.

Just installed mobo ms-7091 m atx but find it as no video out ports how do i get a picture.i know its old but its my first attempt at building pc can i just install a graphics card.

I found the user manual here :

Your motherboard provides 1 pci-express x16 slot, so you will need to install a pci-express video card.
Try to get a video card that doesn't need to be powered by the power supply. There are some out there that don't need to be powered, but .....
Most, but not all, pci-e video cards need to be plugged into your main computer power supply to work. If your power supply was designed to power a pci-e video card, it will have a 6 pin pci-e power connector to connect to a pci-e video card. If your power supply doesn't have this connector, you should replace the power supply with one with the pci-e power connector.

I have a Gateway tower (gt5026e) with an Intel mobo (E210882). I recently upgraded the video and purchased a pcie nvidia card. I knew I would need a new power supply (300w wasn't acceptable for the card)...

you may have dislodged something as you carried out the upgrade - Check all the cables are seated correctly - also check the memory is correctly seated does the machine bleep at all this will give an indication of what the problem may be ------ the number and pattern of the bleeps
the next step would be to remove all unnecessary devices, like the CD , DVD , spare drives - getthe machine to a minimum state of just PSU, MOBO, CPU, Memory, harddrive, graphics and see if that boots
also as you have upgraded the video card can you put the old one back in....

I'm going to assume you supplied the proper 8pin 12v connector besides the necessary 24pin, right? Unplug all cables to any internal peripherals, even data cables. Since you're getting random LED errors, I would remove the video card, open up one of those ancient computers to remove a PCI video card, install it on this board and boot to CMOS. I'd also prepare a Memtest86+ boot diskette and check each memory stick individually (that is if you have a PCI video card output). Keep monitoring/logging those LED errors (to note any type of pattern). The onboard MOLEX power connector, used to provide additional power to the PCI-Express slots when using x16 cards in SLI mode, is located between PCI slot 2 and the board's edge, as a last ditch effort, try powering it up when the Single SLI card is installed. Otherwise, you have either a mal-performing power supply (regardless the total wattage), a funky video card or a DOA motherboard. Always need to carry a known good PCI video card, I use a Matrox Millenium. OH... and take a good slug of your favorite liquor. ZT3000 "Beta tester of "0"s and "1's"
