Dead GPU?

So my graphics card has never been under any immense strain. It was originally an 8800 Ultra which got RMA'd around 2 years ago. It then changed to a BFG 260GTX OC. We all know what the RMA replacements are like. This one seemed refurbished. During an "annual" case clean out and tidy up, having put everything back together it seems to have died on me. The computer POSTs (checked by using another card as well), however the screen doesn't turn on, suggesting no ouput from the GPU. There are no other signs of anything wrong. What could I try?

Thanks
 
Have you checked the power cables? I had a dodgy molex to 6-pin PCIe adapter the other day and i had the same problem,it looked totaly fine but obviously wasn't because the screen was black even though the fan on the card was spinning giving the impression it was powered up. Just a thought,good luck!
