Graphics card and boot problem???

Hello, my computer won't boot up and I'm not sure if the graphics card is to blame.
When i turn the pc on, the motherboard lights up as normal and the fans on the PSU and Cpu start spinning, but there's nothing on the monitor screen. I first thought that the HDD might be playing up so i took it out and put it back into my old pc, using the same monitor, and it all fired up and started loading on the screen. So i'll assume that the HDD and monitor are fine, if so could the graphics card be the problem, or the PSU,motherboard? The only VGA port is on the card so i can't bypass it for now. I also tried putting the XP disk back in and booting from there, but as there's nothing on the screen, i couldn't do it....

I've been using this system for about a year with no problems until now..
XFX Nforce 650i ultra
Intel 2 core 2.2ghz
Radeon x1550 512mb
2gb Ddr2
600w atx psu

Cheers!

Re: Graphics card and boot problem???

It isn't? Blimey, that thing cost me 60 quid.

I take it i'll still need around 600w, so what brands are decent?

Thanks
