So, I just received my computer in CPH at last. Powered it up ok, spins up, but the monitor says no signal detected and goes back to standby. Is this likely to be anything other than a dead GFX card before i go ahead an order a new one? It was dodgy in the first place so i'm assuming it was. When its powered up there is a huge amount of heat coming off it and has a huge heatsink/fan attached which i put on myself.

I put the card in a different PCI-e slot and got some sort of picture, but it was mostly thick lines and shit, so now assuming its def. the gfx card.
