Blank Screen on Bootup

I usually run my box 24/7 because it has many silent components and I can deal with the little sound left. However, I went on vacation so I shut it down. now when I powered it up again, it is completely blank. No BIOS screen or anything. I isolated it to the vid card, because i put in my old geforce2 and things are working fine, and the geforce4 in another machine doesn't work either. Is the card completely fried? Is there anything else I can do?

Thanks,
Curtis
 
Sounds like a gremlin got to it while you were away. 🙁 Does the fan work? You might try resetting the BIOS to defaults as a last resort.
 
I tried flashing the BIOS, and nothing happened. I took off the fan months ago, and I have been running a giant zalman heatsink on it. I don't think heat is an issue because I ran the game with Doom 3 over the summer, and I have been running much less load on it now. Could the initial surge of turning it back on again broken something? Is there any way to tell what happened to it?
