Video Card Died?? help me figure it out...
Hey guys help me with your opinions on this is...
I came into my room because it smelled of an electronic fire...
my monitor was on but not getting a signal and i turned everything off
then thinking my monitor was toast i plugged it in to my other family computer and it worked fine, so the monitor is OK.
I opened up the case and it was VERY dusty, probably the problem. The following info pertains to what is broken in my computer...
It seemed to boot up normally though I cannot see whats going on, it gave 1 beep which I dont think is normal, cant remember
The hard drive spins and clicks just like normal so I think its fine.
Also the keyboard responds to the different 'lock' modes
So seeing that it probably boots up normally the CPU, RAM, mobo and harddrive are OK... am I correct in assuming it is the video card that is toast?? any other ways to figure this out??
thanks guys!

OK I have a little more information thanks for the help already guys!
1. yea its one very brief little beep it gives after several seconds of healthy sounding startup. I honestly cant remember if its normal or not but I THINK its new...
2. my motherboard is an intel D845EBG2, not listed on your BIOS link, phu
3. with the speakers plugged in it plays the startup and shutdown music so it does in fact completely start up.
EDIT: 4. oh and ALL the fans start up, CPU, GPU, and the case fans. unfortunately nothing is obviously broken
Can somebody throw me a checklist of what could be broken, it seems to me that everything essential must be working, CPU MOBO RAM and my HD, is it just the video card??
