    I would check the BIOS to make sure the PCI-e slot is set to be the primary port.

    AGP slot; 160 Watts power supply”

    The card is an HIS Radeon HD 4350.  And the power supply for the SFF is 160 watts.  The next larger case called a small desktop has 180 watts PSU (I have access to one of these as well. same results, no boot) then the mini tower which has a 250 watt PSU.

    I am aware of the BIOS setting mentioned but I am not sure what it is set to, so I will be checking that setting.

    By the way,  I have an AGP slot not PCI-e
