Is my graphics card to blame?

Following a system crash my PC wont reboot.

I am getting no display on my monitor. I have unplugged the DVI connector at the graphics card and the monitor gives the 'no source detected' message.

I've taken the graphics card out of the machine, cleaned it and reseated it, but still no joy. There is no problem with power to the graphics card as the fan runs with no issues.

Is it likely that the graphics card is faulty? If so what would be a decent replacement for my system?

Intel Core 2 DUO LGA775 E6600 2.40GHz Retail
Asus P5K Deluxe WiFi
2GB Corsair XMS2-6400C4 DDR2 Dual Channel
Sapphire ATI Radeon X1950 Pro 256MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express)
Antec NeoHE 550W Modular ATX2.0 PSU
Samsung Syncmaster 191T
 
Are you overclocked at all, try doing CMOS reset and removing one stick of RAM if that still fails try another stick - just make sure your memory is not coursing any problems.

Is there any possibility in checking your gpu in another pc.

Are all power cables in, including the 4 or 8 pin for cpu power.
Have tried what I said to the op regards memory and doing a CMOS reset.
