My question is this....The computer says check video cable and no signal found but everything is secure and tight and plugged in correctly so what do I have to do to get my computer running.

I just got the computer back and had it plugged in and running, the guys came and connected Road Runner to my computer using the ethernet card and the computer ran. I than unplugged everything and moved the computer and everything to my room and it ran for 2 days when I would turn it on. After that the screen remained blank and the box came up saying no video signal and check video cable came on. How do I get my computer to run now.

The only thing I would suggest you to do is plug in another monitor in your computer This will eliminate a monitor if the same message pops up...Double check to make sure your video card is properly installed Improperly installed video cards could this problem also.

Also try to restart your computer
